There is a new study out that shows that 33% of people in the United States with mental disorders go untreated.

Even though I have sought treatment for many years concerning my anxiety/depression disorders, I feel like I haven't been given treatment anyway.

Though I don't live in the US, I'm part of the percentage that isn't/wasn't/hasn't been treated. =D

(.. I probably shouldn't be happy about that.)

Actually, I'd think it would be higher as well.

But worse that the 33% of identified cases that have no access to treatment, is the undoubtedly large percentage of unidentified cases (which are due to lack of information or just plain inexistence of mental health resources for a proper diagnosis and care).
