Proclamation 5051 of April 15, 1983 National Mental Health Week, 1983 Ante, p.63. By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Mental illness costs this Nation more than $50 billion a year and contrib- utes to declining productivity and rising health costs. Approximately 35 mil- lion people a year suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder. In addition, millions more seek professional assistance to alleviate the physical and emotional problems created by excessive stress. These facts and figures, however, cannot describe the high cost in human suffering from mental illness. Incapacitation—most often temporary but per- manent for some—may result from severe depression, crippling anxieties, or other manifestations of mental disorders. Yet public fear and misunder- standing of their illnesses place additional burdens on the afflicted and their families. It is important that the public understand that major advancements brought about by science have made mental illnesses and stress-related disorders greatly amenable to treatment. New technologies have added significantly to the numbers of patients who have improved or recovered following treat- ment and promise further advances. In recognition of the importance for our Nation of the treatment, care and support for the mentally ill provided by health professionals, volunteers, and family members, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 52, has au- thorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation designating the week of April 10 through April 16, 1983, as National Mental Health Week. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning on April 10, 1983, as National Mental Health Week. I call upon health professionals, educators, communications media, the business community, individuals, and public and private organizations concerned with the welfare of their fellow citi- zens to seek and encourage better understanding of mental disorders and to honor those whose studies, treatment, and support have brought palpable gains and welcome hope to the mentally ill.
