Florida Mental Health Statistics to Know
Let’s put some numbers on mental health in Florida. Many people feel isolated because of what they’re going through, and these figures show how common that experience really is.
Additional findings: Of the nearly 800,000 Floridians who needed mental health care and did not get it, almost half went without because of cost. Nationally, one in five adults and one in six youth ages 6–17 experience a mental health condition each year, including depression and anxiety. If you are unsure where you stand, learn how to get a diagnosis. Source: NAMI Florida State Fact Sheet.
