According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, one in five U.S. adults experience some form of mental illness in their lifetime, and one in 25 live with a serious mental illness. Early identification in children and young adults is particularly important, since one-half of all chronic mental illness begins by age 14 and three-quarters by the age of 24.

“Non-diagnosis and misdiagnosis of behavioral health issues are pervasive problems across our nation’s healthcare providers, resulting in unnecessary complications for patients and unnecessary costs for our healthcare system,” said Jim Szyperski, CEO of Nview Health. “At Nview Health, we’re passionate about making the world’s most accurate and validated behavioral health assessment solution available to more healthcare professionals and consumers, which is something we’re doing with the support we’re receiving from BIP Capital.”
