  1. MENTAL HEALTH in Bristol

  2. The economic case • Mental illness is the largest single burden of disease in the UK, with direct and indirect costs estimated to amount to £105 billion a year, 20% of which is direct health and social care cost • In 2004 22.8% of the total burden of disease in the UK was attributable to mental illness, compared with 16.2% for cardiovascular disease and 15.9% for cancer. The Economic and Social Costs of Mental Health Problems 2009 / 10, Centre for Mental Health (2010) WHO (2008). The global burden of disease: 2004 update.

  3. The evidence • Effective ‘treatment’, at its best, will prevent or address only 28% of the total level of need – so focussing on prevention and building individual, community and population resilience is essential • Investing in early intervention services for children and young people could prevent 25 – 50% of adult mental illness, with economic returns of intervention programmes exceeding cost by 1:6 • Integration and whole system approach is recommended • across health and social care • across physical and mental health • across the life course No Health Without Mental Health, the case for action: Royal College of Psychiatrists 2010

  4. Understanding the Bristol picture • Bristol Mental Health Needs Assessment • Annual Suicide Prevention Report • Newly established JSNA Mental Health Group

  5. Analysis of MH risk by ward The following factors which influence mental health have been mapped against each ward in Bristol and scored and ranked in relation to the level of risk to population mental health. • Employment • Education and training • Housing • Access to fresh food • Physical Activity • Social networks and support • Access to green space • Crime • Cohesion • Discrimination and harassment

  6. Ward Mental Health Risk • Wards ranked by MH risk score (low score = high risk) • Ashley, Windmill Hill & Southville have a lower risk compared to level of deprivation • Stockwood may have a higher risk than level of deprivation suggests

  7. Known risk factors

  8. A snap shot of patterns of mental health need in Bristol (2011)

  9. Considering co-morbidity for Mental Health conditions • Almost a third of adults with MH problems are likely to have more than one condition • 16-24yr olds, 25 – 34 yr. olds, particularly men & women aged 45-54 highest risk groups

  10. Comorbidity- mental and physical health • Depression increases risk of mortality by 50% and doubles the risk of CHD • Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder increases risk of respiratory, cardiovascular and infectious diseases, obesity and diabetes • Mental health problems can shorten lives by 16-25 years
