Why It Matters

In 2016, it was estimated that 43.4 million of U.S. adults—about 18%—experienced some form of mental health disorder. Mental health disorders can be characterized by changes in behavior, thoughts and mood, and affect an individual’s ability to carry out daily activities and capacity to work, succeed in school and interact with others. Of the 43.4 million adults with a mental health disorder, less than half receive mental health services.
