Depression rates in the United States are skyrocketing, particularly among young adults and women, a new poll shows.
STOCK PHOTO/Getty Images, published by Gallup on Wednesday, found 29% of U.S. adults report being diagnosed with depression at some point during their lifetimes, an increase from 19.6% in 2015.
Although the COVID-19 pandemic can't be blamed completely for the increasing rates, it definitely was a major factor, Witters said. By comparison, men with depression during their lifetimes saw a smaller increase from 17.7% in 2017 to 20.4% in 2023. Current rates for depression rose from 9.3% to 11.3%.
Adults aged 65 and older had the smallest increase for depression and were the only group that saw a decrease in rates of current depression from 2021.
