Early diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders can bring rapid response and recovery. Response rates are:

  • Between 80% and 90% of persons suffering from depression
  • From 70% to 80% of those with bipolar disorder
  • 60 to 70% of of those with schizophrenia
  • Up to 90% of those of panic disorder
