That makes it the costliest medical condition in the country. Heart conditions were the second costliest condition, falling far behind menial disorders at $147 billion. Trauma(外伤）and injury was third at $143 billion.“One key finding of this study is the degree to which spending on mental health disorders in 2013 topped those on all other medical conditions, including heart conditions, trauma, and cancer. Researcher Charles Roehrig wrote in the study's conclusion.Just a decade ago, heart conditions outweighed mentd disorders. Health care costs onheart Problems were about $105 Million in 1996, with mental disordere coming in second at $79 billion.The findings are just another example of how important it is to recognize mental illness as a widespread public health issue. Nearly one in four people will experience a mental health condition at some point in his or her life. Despite this fact, though, there's still a lack of sensitivity and understanding in society—and even the medical community—when it comes to mental disorders.Research shows discrimination involved in mental health. Negative thoughts surrounding mental illness often prevent people from seeking treatment, which can have serious consequences.Data also suggests that not paying attention to mental illness can affeci a company 's bottom line. Serious mental illnesses result in about $193 billion in lost earnings per year.Lastly, the cost of mental health issues extends beyond a dollar sign, but perhaps the shocking figure in the report will finally serve as a wakeup call for those who believe psychological (心理的）conditions aren't real issues. In other words, can we please take mental illness seriously now?12. What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The new analysis.B. Mental illness.C.$201 billion.D.
