Although the pandemic sparked concern for people’s mental health, the study confirmed depression was prevalent in Americans before Covid-19.
Goodwin said the results make it evident public service announcement efforts had not achieved the desired result of people seeking treatment for depression.
The increase of those with depression was found in younger people, with no jump in those over 35. However, 17% of adolescents reported depressive symptoms, up from 16% in 2015 and 13% in 2005. Overall, the percentage of those seeking help remained consistently low, with Goodwin noting the “level and concentration” of untreated depression in young people as “especially problematic.”
“Our results showed most adolescents with depression neither told or talked with a healthcare professional about depression symptoms nor received pharmacologic treatment from 2015 through 2020.”
