This article examines the well-being of mentally ill Americans. The authors find that access to care and financial protections have improved; however, those results have been limited to certain populations. Access to care for individuals with mental health impairments appears to have been declined. Additionally, the authors estimate that at least 7 percent of the population with serious and persistent mental illness is incarcerated.
