In 2024, 43% of adults reported feeling more anxious than the previous year, up from 37% in 2023 and 32% in 2022. The primary sources of this anxiety include current events (70%), the economy (77%), the 2024 U.S. election (73%), and gun violence (69%).<\/p><h5>Impact of Lifestyle Factors on Mental Health<\/h5><p>When asked about lifestyle factors affecting mental health, adults identified stress (53%) and sleep (40%) as having the most significant impact. Younger adults (18-34 years old) are more likely than older adults (50+) to say that social connection has the biggest impact on their mental health. Despite increasing anxiety levels, the majority of adults have not sought professional mental health support, with only 24% of adults reporting that they talked with a mental health care professional in the past year. Younger adults are more than twice as likely as older adults to have sought such support.<\/p><h5>Seeking Mental Health Support<\/h5><p>\u201cLiving in a world of constant news of global and local turmoil, some anxiety is natural and expected,\u201d said APA President Petros Levounis, M.D., M.A. \u201cBut what stands out here is that Americans are reporting more anxious feelings than in past years. This increase may be due to the unprecedented exposure that we have to everything that happens in the world around us, or to an increased awareness and reporting of anxiety. Either way, if people have these feelings, they are not alone, and they can seek help from us.\u201d<\/p><h5>Preferences and Concerns Regarding Mental Health Care<\/h5><p>Among adults who have used mental health care this year, 55% prefer in-person meetings with mental health professionals, 30% prefer telehealth, and 15% have no preference. Additionally, more than half (59%) are concerned about losing access to mental health care, and 39% of insured adults worry about losing their health insurance due to political changes.<\/p><h5>Perceptions and Broader Impacts of Untreated Mental Illness<\/h5><p>A significant majority of adults (83%) believe untreated mental illness negatively impacts families, and 65% say it negatively affects the U.S. economy. Moreover, 71% feel that children and teens have more mental health problems than they did a decade ago. However, over half of adults (55%) think there is less stigma surrounding mental health issues than ten years ago.<\/p><p>\u201cOver the past ten years, we\u2019ve grown more comfortable talking about mental health, and that\u2019s absolutely key to helping us through the current crisis,\u201d said APA CEO and Medical Director Saul Levin, M.D., M.P.A. \u201cThe continued work of APA is to ensure that people can access care when they need it, especially in areas that need it badly, like child and adolescent psychiatry.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f2d3336\" data-id=\"f2d3336\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5552c08 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5552c08\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.22.0 - 17-06-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"841\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stress.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Stressed-Mom-2-974x1024.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1598\" alt=\"stressed Mom sitting on couch with running children in background\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stress.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Stressed-Mom-2-974x1024.webp 974w, https:\/\/www.stress.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Stressed-Mom-2-600x631.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.stress.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Stressed-Mom-2-285x300.webp 285w, https:\/\/www.stress.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Stressed-Mom-2-768x808.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.stress.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Stressed-Mom-2.webp 1296w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5cc433d elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5cc433d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Additional Sources of Stress<\/h1>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9e404f0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9e404f0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Other concerns contributing to anxiety include:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-20b565a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"20b565a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li>Personal and family safety: 68%<\/li><li>Identity theft: 63%<\/li><li>Personal health: 63%<\/li><li>Paying bills or expenses: 63%<\/li><li>The opioid epidemic: 50%<\/li><li>Impact of emerging technology on daily life: 46%<\/li><li>Climate change: 57%<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-111f74d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"111f74d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Survey Methodology<br \/><\/strong>This annual poll was conducted from April 9 to 11, 2024, among a sample of more than 2,200 adults.
