Mental Health Statistics
According to the Stress in America™ 2023 survey conducted by The Harris Poll on behalf of APA, adults aged 35 to 44 reported a significant increase in chronic health conditions and mental health diagnoses since the pandemic.
In 2023, 58% of this age group reported chronic health conditions, compared to 48% in 2019. Similarly, 45% reported a mental illness in 2023, up from 31% in 2019. While adults aged 18 to 34 still reported the highest rate of mental illnesses at 50% in 2023, those aged 35 to 44 highlighted financial concerns and economic factors as significant stressors, with 77% citing money and 74% citing the economy as stress-inducing factors compared to 2019.
In the United States, suicide ranks as the second leading cause of death among individuals aged 10-24 and the 12th leading cause overall. Shockingly, 46% of individuals who die by suicide had a diagnosed mental health condition, and 90% may have experienced related symptoms, according to psychological autopsies.
