A new report - 'The economic and social costs of mental ill health' calls for urgent action and a ten-year mental health strategy as the costs top £300 billion #CostsOfMentalIllHealth hefma.co.uk/news/cost-of-m…

People with mental health difficulties are paying a high price. Our new economic analysis, commissioned by MHN Chief Executive, captures the human costs of mental ill health as well as the costs to businesses and to the public sector: centreformentalhealth.org.uk/publications/t… #CostsOfMentalIllHealth

The overall costs of mental ill health equate to double the NHS’s entire 2022 budget in England.
But properly investing in prevention & support can turn the tide on these costs and boost the nation’s mental health: centreformentalhealth.org.uk/publications/t… #CostsOfMentalIllHealth

The costs of mental ill health in England - £300bn - are double the entire NHS budget. Government failure to act now will lead to more human suffering and even higher costs.

Our partner Centre for Mental Health's report shows people living with mental health difficulties and their families lose £175bn a year through loss of earnings, informal care, reduced quality of life, and support costs. Investment in prevention and support is vital. #CostsOfMentalIllHealth

Arresting analysis from Centre for Mental Health. The report also found that most of these costs (£175bn) fall on people living with mental health difficulties and their families. It's time for Government to start supporting families impacted by mental illness

It'd be interesting to tot up the financial costs of denying me access to good, timely, effective care, treatment & support for #mentalillness

I've gone from working full-time & paying shed loads of tax ... to over a decade on benefits

So far

#CostsOfMentalIllHealth

Government inaction is not an option – we’re calling for a ten-year mental health strategy: centreformentalhealth.org.uk/publications/t…

Thx MHN Chief Executive for commissioning this 🙏🏾

#CostsOfMentalIllHealth

The #CostsOfMentalIllHealth are high and growing. It’s time to act. National government, local councils, the NHS, business and civil society can all help to turn this around and create better mental health for all

Whatever the short-term financial savings to individual services in the NHS & social services of excluding me from needed care, the long-term financial costs to wider society are far larger

I may never be well enough to work again

False economy
