from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention . Roughly 23% of people between the ages of 18 and 44 got mental health treatment in 2021, up from 18.5% in 2019. It was also the highest percentage for any adult age group that year. The findings aren’t surprising, given the state of the world, and shed a light on the obvious need for mental health care as we continue to grapple with the effects of the last few years.
Women between the ages of 18 and 44 were more likely to get this care than men, per the report—nearly 29% of women versus about 18% of men. Dr. Katz notes the size of that gap is worth paying attention to: “I was surprised to see that while men seeking mental health treatment did increase in 2021, it is still happening at a much lower rate than that of women engaging in care,” she says.
