Presidential Candidates Answer Mental Healthcare Questionnaire

The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) has released the responses of five presidential candidates to a detailed questionnaire about mental healthcare issues.

"Mental health is part of the national dialogue on healthcare," said NAMI executive director Michael J. Fitzpatrick. "We offer the candidate responses as part of the process of public education."

"One out of four Americans are affected by mental illness at some point during their lifetimes. It does not discriminate between Democrats and Republicans."

- Specific answers to 24 questions have been provided to date by Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, and Barack Obama.
