Grand Rapids Mental Health Facts

Did you know that 1 in 5 U.S. adults has a mental health concern? If you’re suffering from anxiety or depression, have been diagnosed with another disorder, or if you’re struggling with situational anxiety or depression, you aren’t alone. In Michigan, 1.4 million adults have a mental health condition. To put this in perspective, that’s seven times the population of Grand Rapids.

Here are some other statistics about mental health in Grand Rapids to demonstrate how much mental wellness can impact families and communities:

• 39.9% of adults in Michigan have experienced symptoms of anxiety or depression, and 27% were unable to get the therapy and counseling they needed
• Nearly 6% of the state’s population is uninsured. And, of the 421,000 adults in Michigan who didn’t get needed mental health care, 38% didn’t because they couldn’t afford it
• Michiganders are nearly 6 times more likely to be forced out-of-network for mental health care than for other types of health care, which makes it more difficult to find care

Finding in-network car can make a difference in whether someone is able to afford the therapy they need. And, it’s not just adults who suffer because of high mental health care costs or inability to access treatment. Children and teens also struggle, and without early intervention, they could be set up for a lifetime of mental health challenges.
