PUBLISHED 1:30 PM EDT Sep. 07, 2022The number of American adults seeking mental health treatment has increased since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and younger adults appear to be struggling the most, according to new federal data
The CDC report did not suggest reasons for the increases, but there has been much research linking worsening mental health to the COVID-19 pandemic Mental health treatment is on the rise among adults overall — up from 19.2% in 2019 to 21.6% in 2021. However, the differences were statistically insignificant for other age groups — slightly higher for 45-64 and slightly lower for 65 and older.
Thirty percent of non-Hispanic White adults 18-44 say they sought care, up from 23.8% in 2019. The number for non-Hispanic Asian adults in that age group receiving treatment, meanwhile, nearly doubled, going from 6% to 10.8%.
