Responses to nervous breakdowns in America over a 40-year period: Mental health policy implications.
Abstract
examine the policy implications of people's responses to feeling an impending nervous breakdown. Questions about problems in modern living were added to the GSS to provide a profile of the public's view of mental health problems. Results were compared for 1957, 1976, and 1996. In 1957, 19 % of respondents had experienced an impending nervous breakdown; in 1996, 26 % had had this experience. Between 1957 and 1996, participants in-creased their use of informal social supports, decreased their use of physicians, and increased their use of nonmed-ical mental health professionals. These findings support policies that strengthen informal support seeking and ac-cess to effective psychosocial treatments rather than cur-rent mental health reimbursement practices, which empha-size the role of primary care physicians. ~ uestions concerning the public's response to mental health problems have been informed in previous generations by the Americans View

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
