The evidence on the costs and impacts on the economy and productivity due to mental ill health: a rapid review

The Mental Health Commission of NSW is an independent body which helps drive reform that benefits people who experience mental illness and their families and carers. The Commission is working with the mental health community towards sustained change regarding all aspects of mental illness and its impact on employment, education, housing, justice and general health. The Commission has been tasked with developing a draft strategic plan for Government by March 2014. To inform the development of the draft strategic plan, a rapid review was commissioned to examine the costs and impacts on the economy and productivity due to mental illness (broken down by mental health disorder).
