U.S. Mental Health Ratings Continue to Worsen

[HikerGuy83]

Despite claims from the left that this country is better off now than 30 years ago, our mental health continues to decline.

U.S. Mental Health Ratings Continue to Worsen

Twenty-nine percent of U.S. adults describe their mental health as excellent, down 14 points from 2019 and the first reading below 30%.

Americans’ assessments of their own mental health continue to erode. For the first time, the percentage of U.S. adults who describe their mental health as “excellent” has dropped below 30%. Just six years ago, before the COVID-19 pandemic, 43% rated their mental health this positively.

******

As Americans’ self-reported mental health has deteriorated, their efforts to seek help have increased. Twenty-four percent of U.S. adults say they have visited a mental health professional in the past year, including 8% who did so more than 10 times. The average number of visits among all U.S. adults is 3.2, up sharply from 1.1 in 2001 and 1.5 in 2004.

And soooooo..........

We have to wonder what is causing all of this. Something to look into.

Do you have any links to where the left claims mental health rates are getting better?

I didn't say that in regard to mental health.

I just said they claim things are better.

Are Things Getting Better or Worse?

Why assessing the state of the world is harder than it sounds.

I am more concerned with those who are impacted by the crazies like this.

People are having a harder time now than before.

You know those nose rings have always created questions in my mind.

When I see one, it looks like boogers hanging out of their noses. Is that what they want?

I believe those numbers

Its obvious that libs are cracking up while trump is president

Maybe the dems will agree to put enough money in mental health hospitals to house them all

It goes well beyond left-wingers and Trump.

We are creating a very fragile society where people are not at all resilient.

This is the result of decades of coddling and throwing away basic societal norms.

Americans’ assessments of their own mental health continue to erode.

I hope so. These mobs of crazies in Minnesota who have been tracking, stalking, attacking and obstructing ICE police officers as they go about their business rounding up criminal aliens here against the law are behaving exactly as textbook sociopaths. How an unhinged kook like that Pretti guy was to be so violent and enraged over something so simple and common, not even connected to his life, and by totally twisting the reality of what is actually going on.. could find his way into important positions like emergency medical staff and elected offices throughout the city and state should be of a grave concern to everyone.

What next? Some woman in a hospital somewhere pulls a plug, flips a switch or pops a pill to some patient murdering him just because she thinks he works for ICE or something?

I just watched a guy somewhere trying to follow the action there in MN to see what is going on now who said he tried to slip into their group inconspicuously report back that he barely got out of there alive! So much for protecting the freedom of the press. He was chased and later got a text to him somehow describing his vehicle complete with license plate number telling him that if he came back, they would KILL him.

Yep, no mental health issue here. Democrats are literally drawing the line at insurrection against the United States and prepared to murder while fighting to the death over the United States enforcing its immigration laws and cleaning up violent criminal alien offenders.

Why? Must really be cutting into the drug and human trafficking business of a lot of people not to mention causing the democrat party to lose a lot of voters.

Funny how a boob like me can figure that out while not a single professional MSM network producer out there to just ask the right questions of the right people can.

Because they consider mental health problems to be a source of pride and no longer a problem to be cured … they would definitely see a decline in the populations mental health as an improvement.

Clearly a huge part of this is that the criteria of what constitutes mental illness has expanded so much

What constitutes mental health is up to the individual. The survey is self reporting.

I'd say the individual understands how they feel better than anyone else.

 

[Mac-7]

The street protestors act like children

But they should be tried as adults

 

[initforme]

People are overworked, stressed. Theyre tired of being told "be productive, work hard" ad nauseum. Perhaps things will improve when more people just quit giving a care about anything.

Any link you have would be appreciated.

But I doubt what you say is true.

Anytime your criteria is changing, you have to go through a normalization process so that it is an apples to apples comparison.

These people are researchers who understand that.

I am not familiar with the study. But to be credible, it would not just be a yes no single question.

Our grandfathers were raised in the depression, went on to fight the Second World War, a d came home to build the most profitable economy in American history….

… they didn’t all without gender dysphoria or a safe space.
