Mental Health in Missouri
In Missouri, 255,000 adults are experiencing a serious mental illness, and nearly 1 million Missouri adults have a mental health condition. Among the states, Mental Health America ranks Missouri at 44, meaning there is a higher prevalence of mental illness and lower rate of access to care.
Like many states that rank low on this list, The Show Me state faces a shortage of mental healthcare providers. In fact, 99 rural counties in Missouri have been designated a Mental Health Professional Shortage Area. With less than 4% of the recommended providers, this is the largest shortage in any state.
To increase access to treatment, some Missouri clinics are re-evaluating policies and making changes. These behavioral health clinics have improved access to serve nearly 30% more patients and are offering same-day care. This has been made possible by eliminating wait lists, integrating physical and mental health care, and establishing partnerships with hospitals, schools, and law enforcement services.
