According to your textbook, two of the major barriers to mental health treatment are:

A) time and money.
B) a lack therapists and racism.
C) rigid diagnostic criteria for mental illness and insurance companies.
D) pharmaceutical companies and medical lobbyists.

Answer: A
Rationale: Two of the main barriers to mental health treatment are time and expense. Psychotherapy can be expensive, often costing more than $100 per hour, making it difficult or impossible to afford for people without health insurance. Because therapy may require weekly sessions spanning several months, even middle-class families would have to sacrifice to cover the typical cost of therapy.
