Dover adults report 14 or more days of poor mental health a month more often than in almost any of the 100 U.S. cities in this series, and about one in four rates their own health as fair or poor. Those are difficult numbers for a city of Dover’s size.

They come with an advantage worth using. Dover has one of the highest routine checkup rates of any city in this group, and most adults here have health insurance. That means the most ordinary route to help, telling a doctor you already see, is realistic for more people in Dover than in most places. You do not need a separate crisis to raise it.
