Book excerpt: This report concludes that the prevalence of specific mental disorders is likely to remain broadly stable over the next 20 years. However, costs are projected to increase substantially, largely because of the expected increase in the number of people with dementia. The cost of lost employment is also projected to increase, confirming the major adverse economic impact of poor mental health. The report calls for future costs to be met, a focus on employment, more evidence-based interventions, better systems of early detection and treatment of dementia, and further research into the cost-effectiveness of a range of interventions, including mental health promotion and prevention initiatives.
