2024 State of Mental Health in America Report

Mental health outcomes in the U.S. remain concerning, with high prevalence rates of untreated mental illness, particularly among youth and adults in underserved communities. Key measures are highlighted, such as access to mental health services, prevalence of mental illness, workforce shortages, and insurance coverage gaps across states. The report serves as a critical resource for state and local governments to assess disparities and implement targeted policy solutions, such as Medicaid expansion, improving mental health workforce availability, and addressing systemic barriers to access, such as affordability and insurance limitations.
