Prevention of mental ill-health is vital but so is early intervention and treatment; where help and support is lacking and needs go unmet, people can sink into dependency and become trapped. Employment can greatly improve wellbeing; primary care and other mental health services have a vital role in helping people become work-ready, even if that journey may be a long one. Yet less than one-third of mental illness is reduced by treatment. NHS mental health providers have to be better integrated with a full range of other agencies (from the public, private or voluntary sectors) given the complex social, physical and psychological needs of people with mental ill-health.
