Over Half Of Young Adults Concerned About Their Mental Health, But Only 12% Of Adults Report Mental Health Visits

However, only 12% reported visiting a psychiatrist, psychologist, psychotherapist, or well-being therapist to address their mental health concerns.

The poll was conducted in March 2023 among a national sample of 3,400 people . . .
