The last four decades have seen unprecedented progress in the science of mental illness, yet we have seen little progress in outcomes for people with serious mental illness. At a population level, morbidity and mortality are increasing not decreasing for those with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and severe mood and anxiety disorders. How to explain this gap between science and social impact? This lecture will suggest we have a crisis of care, with five major problems contributing (capacity, engagement, quality, accountability, and equity). Remarkably, while there is no magic bullet (or molecular target), there are solutions for each of these problems. Technology will help. But we need high touch as well as high tech. Most of all, we need to shift our model from a narrow medical sick care approach to a broader recovery health care approach, addressing the 3 P s: people, place, and purpose. The problem of serious mental illness is indeed medical, but the solutions will need to include social, environmental, and political efforts if we are to bend the curves for morbidity and mortality.
