What do you mean the ACA didn't do anything? It expanded the Mental Health Parity Act to include all insurance. Starting in 2014, you can no longer find insurance that excludes mental health and substance abuse treatment.
These two acts have made professional mental health treatment accessible to most Americans now. We certainly have a long way to go, but things are a lot better today than they were 5 years ago.
