EXHIBIT 5.2 Reasons for MHSA Inpatient Hospital Stays (PDF)

Distribution of MHSA discharges by major reason for hospital stay, 2008. Pie chart. Bipolar disorders: 20%; depression: 24%; schizophrenia/other psychotic disorders: 19%; alcohol-related disorders: 14%; drug-related disorders: 12%; adjustment disorders: 2%; anxiety disorders: 2%; all other: 5%. Mood disorders (bipolar disorders and depression) are 44% of MHSA stays; substance abuse disorders (alcohol-related disorders and drug-related disorders) are 26% of MHSA stays. 1.8 million total MHSA stays. Note: Major reasons are based on principal CCS conditions. Note: All other includes attention-deficit, conduct, and disruptive behavior disorders; impulse control disorders; personality disorders; autism and other childhood disorders; developmental disorders; and pregnancy-related and other miscellaneous MH disorders. Note: Pie slices do not add to 100% because of rounding.

In 2008, there were 1.8 million stays for a principal MHSA diagnosis. About three-quarters (1.3 million) of these stays had a MH disorder and one-quarter of these (0.5 million) had a SA disorder.

Accounting for 44 percent of discharges, mood disorders (depression and bipolar disorders) was the most common reason for a MHSA stay in 2008. Depression was responsible for 24 percent of the 1.8 million MHSA stays and bipolar disorders for another 20 percent of MHSA stays.
SA disorders contributed 26 percent of all MHSA discharges, with alcohol-related disorders responsible for 14 percent and drug-related disorders for 12 percent of all MHSA discharges.
Schizophrenia/other psychotic disorders made up nearly one in five MHSA hospitalizations (19 percent).
The remaining 9 percent of MHSA stays in 2008 were for anxiety disorders (2 percent), adjustment disorders (2 percent), and all other MH conditions (5 percent).
