that said here where I live and work the state, cities, towns and agencies all keep their own statistical data on how many people are in the mental health system. example at the crisis center where I work at any given time there are well over 2000 clients divided up into caseloads of each treatment provider having a caseload of between 40 and 65 clients a week.

the hospital that I also work at, their statistics are considerably higher.

to find out what the statistics are in your location you can contact any mental health agency in your location. they will be able to tell you how many clients they serve.
