Just like our physical and nutritional health, our mental health is important. Having poor mental health can impact our day to day and lead to less satisfaction in life, less interest in careers and hobbies, and even isolate us from the ones we love.

Mental illness isn’t limited to words like “depression” or “anxiety,” but there are many mental illnesses we can be affected by in our lives, and it’s more common than you think. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic has also made these effects greater for some and the effects of job loss and isolation have led to poor mental health.

The Stats

1 in 5 adults (51.5 million) experienced mental illness in 2019.

During the pandemic, about 4 in 10 adults in the U.S. have reported symptoms of anxiety or depressive disorder, a share that has been largely consistent, up from one in ten adults who reported these symptoms from January to June 2019.

In January 2021, 41% of adults reported symptoms of anxiety and/or depressive disorder (Figure 2), a share that has been largely stable since spring 2020.
