SMI disrupts the way a person thinks, feels, relates to others and functions on a daily basis. The best treatments for SMI today are highly effective. Between 70 and 90 percent of individuals have significant reduction of symptoms, improved quality of life, and a satisfying measure of achievement and independence when a combination of pharmacological and psychosocial treatments and support services, like safe, permanent housing, are used.
