AMERICANS WITH PSYCHOLOGICAL DISABILITIES IS ON THE RISE
Already, four of the ten leading causes of disability in the United States are mental disorders: major depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Major depressive disorder will be the leading cause of disability internationally for women and children by 2020. Further, the United States is fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that have resulted in more veterans with mental health issues, such as post-traumatic stress disorder. To add to that, the rising cost of housing and the loss of subsidized housing units from federal programs have been devastating for persons with cognitive and psychological disabilities with limited incomes, such as individuals who receive Social Security Insurance (SSI), Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), or Veterans’ benefits. Funding for housing for low-income housing programs has decreased as rents have risen. Given the rise in the occurrence of mental illness, poverty among persons with mental illness, and escalating housing costs, it is increasingly important for the United States to maintain housing policies that will promote mental health and ensure adequate and affordable housing for low-income individuals whose mental illness qualifies as a disability.
Measures of systematic discrimination against persons with disabilities are generally higher than the net measures of discrimination on the basis of race and ethnicity.” The study stated that “persons with disabilities face more frequent adverse treatment in the Chicago area rental market than African Americans or Hispanics.” While discrimination is devastating to all protected classes; additional entrenched factors combine to impede housing opportunities for low-income persons with mental disabilities.
Individuals with disabilities have a higher rate of poverty than working-age individuals without disabilities and are, therefore, less likely to be able to afford a market-rate apartment. Data from 2007 demonstrates that over 2.6 million working-age people with mental disabilities live in poverty (excluding those who are institutionalized).
People with mental disabilities have the highest poverty rate of any group of individuals with a disability and the lowest median annual income for working-age people. In the United States, nearly one-third of all working-age, non-institutionalized people who have a mental disability live in poverty. Compounding these difficulties, the number of Americans with psychological disabilities is on the rise. Already, four of the ten leading causes of disability in the United States are mental disorders: major depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. The major depressive disorder will be the leading cause of disability internationally for women and children by 2020. Further, the United States is fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that have resulted in more veterans with mental health issues, such as post-traumatic stress disorder.
