AIMS: To examine self-perceived need for mental health care in the Australian adult population between 2007 and 2021.
METHODS: The Perceived Need for Care Questionnaire in the 2007 and 2021 National Study of Mental Health and Wellbeing captures types of help needed in five mental health care categories: medication, information, counselling, social interventions and skills training. Needs are rated as unmet, partially met, or fully met. Twelve-month affective, anxiety and substance use disorders are assessed using WHO's Composite International Diagnostic Interview.
RESULTS: Demand for mental health care (composite of need categories) among adult Australians increased from 14% (2007) to 20% (2021). It also increased in those with common disorders (43.3-58.9%) and without (6.5-9.9%). Highest 2021 demand was in those with affective (76%), followed by anxiety (61%) and substance use (43%) disorders. Rates of demands being fully met remained stable (45% in 2007; 48% in 2021), with rates among those with substance use (24% in 2021), affective or anxiety (38%) disorders, and those without a common disorder (63%). In 2021, needed supports were counselling (16%), information (11%), medication (10%), skills training (6%) and social interventions (5%). Fully met needs were highest for medication (81%), then counselling (57%), information (54%), skills training (41%) and social interventions (15%).
CONCLUSIONS: Despite service expansion, less than half of people with demand had fully met needs. Attention is needed on the causes, population-level prevention as well as treatment strategies to address this burgeoning mental health crisis.
