CDC findings indicate that half of U.S. adults will develop a mental illness during their lifetime. The CDC report cites figures from a 2009 survey conducted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, which found that 11 million people, or nearly 4% of the population, experienced a serious mental illness during the past year, defined as a condition that affected the ability to function. The CDC report also documents data on suicide: 8.4 million Americans had suicidal thoughts in the past year, 2.2 million made plans to kill themselves, and 1 million attempted suicide.Mental Illness Surveillance Among Adults in the United States, which was prepared by the CDC's Public Health Surveillance Program Office, is the first agencywide compilation of data from selected CDC surveillance and information systems that measure the prevalence and effects of mental illness in the U.S. adult population. In addition, the 29-page report notes that, "In 2002 and 2003, mental illness cost the United States an estimated $300 billion annually, which included approximately $193 billion from lost earnings
