IMPACT Why Behavioral Health? • “Disability” refers to the amount of disruption a health problem causes to a person’s ability to: o Work o Carry out daily activities o Engage in satisfying relationships • Mental illnesses can be more disabling than many chronic physical illnesses. For example: o The disability from moderate depression is similar to the impact from relapsing multiple sclerosis, severe asthma, or chronic hepatitis B. o The disability from severe depression is comparable to the disability from quadriplegia. 3
