More than 1 in 6 adults say they are depressed or receiving treatment for depression.
An alarming new report has unveiled a troubling reality in the United States' mental health crisis. More than 1 in 6 adults say they are depressed or being treated for depression, the highest level ever recorded since Gallup first started tracking the condition.
Meanwhile, about 1 in 3 women say they've been clinically diagnosed with depression in their lifetime, an increase of more than 10% since 2017. Lifetime depression rates are also rising faster among Black and Hispanic adults as compared to White respondents, who have historically reported higher rates of depression.
U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy recently declared loneliness and isolation the nation's latest epidemic, calling them an urgent public health issue that's as deadly as smoking.
