Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration Administrator Terry Cline was quoted: “The significant number of hospital stays related to mental health and substance use disorders signals the need for an increased national effort to identify and intervene early before the conditions require a hospital stay. Too often because of social stigma or lack of understanding, individuals and health care providers don't recognize the signs or treat mental health or substance use disorders with the same urgency as other medical conditions."
Other findings include facts that most patients with mental health and substance abuse disorders were older although people age 80 and older comprised only 5 percent of the U.S. population .In 2004, it was seen that they accounted for nearly 21 percent of all hospital stays for these conditions – principally for dementia.
Gender differences also persisted. The most frequent diagnoses requiring hospitalization for women was mood disorders, while for men it was substance abuse.
AHRQ also found that patients who have been diagnosed with both a mental health condition and a substance abuse disorder – those with "dual diagnoses" – accounted for 1 million of the nearly 8 million stays. Nearly half of these cases with dual diagnoses involved drug abuse, a third involved alcohol abuse, and one in five involved both drug and alcohol abuse.
It was also seen that 240,000 women hospitalized for childbirth or pregnancy were diagnosed as having mental health or substance abuse problems. Almost half of these patients were between 18 and 24 years of age.
Attempts on one’s own life accounted for nearly 179,000 hospital stays. Of these, 93 percent involved a mental health condition (most commonly mood disorders –and/or substance abuse). Nearly 75 percent of these patients were between ages 18 and 44 and more than half were women.
