Prevention Agenda 2019-2024: Promote Well-Being and Prevent Mental and Substance Use Disorders Action Plan
Promote Well-Being and Prevent Mental and Substance Use Disorders Action Plan (PDF, 960KB, 27pp.)
Table of Contents
Overview
Mental and emotional well-being is essential to overall health. At any given time, almost one in five young people nationally are affected by mental, emotional and behavioral (MEB) disorders, including conduct disorders, depression and substance abuse. Adverse Childhood Experiences and many MEB disorders, such as substance abuse and depression, have lifelong effects that include high psychosocial and economic costs for people, their families, schools and communities. The financial costs nationally in terms of treatment services and lost productivity are estimated at $467 billion in 2012, and $442 billion for misuse of prescription drugs, illicit drugs and alcohol. Mental and physical health problems are interwoven. Improvements in mental health help improve individuals and populations' physical health. The best opportunities to improve the public's mental health are interventions delivered before a disorder manifests itself, to prevent its development. These interventions can be integrated with routine health care and wellness promotion in health care settings, as well as in schools and community settings. Additional information about the burden of chronic diseases, underlying risk factors, associated disparities, and social determinants of health can be found at: Link to the burden documents

2.6.2 Integrated treatment: Concurrent therapy for mental illness and nicotine addiction have the best outcomes. Smokers who receive mental health treatment have higher quit rates than those who do not. For example, people with schizophrenia showed better quit rates with the medication bupropion, compared with placebo, and showed no worsening of psychiatric symptoms. A combination of the medication varenicline and behavioral support has shown promise for helping people with bipolar and major depressive disorders quit, with no worsening of psychiatric symptoms. A clinical trial found that a combination of varenicline and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) was more effective than CBT alone for helping people with serious mental illness stop smoking for a prolonged periodafter 1 year of treatment and at 6 months after treatment ended.
