Depression

According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), an estimated 8.3% of all adults in the United States had at least one major depressive episode in 2021. For adolescents, that rate jumps to an estimated 20.1% of the U.S. population aged 12 to 17. And these numbers only represent those displaying full criterion for Major Depressive Disorder; there are multiple levels of depression, with varying degrees of duration and severity.

Symptoms of Depression can include:

•Persistent sad, anxious, or “empty” mood
•Feelings of hopelessness or pessimism
•Feelings of irritability, frustration, or restlessness
•Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness
•Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities
•Decreased energy, fatigue, or feeling slowed down
•Difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions
•Difficulty sleeping, waking early in the morning, or oversleeping
•Changes in appetite or unplanned weight changes
•Physical aches or pains, headaches, cramps, or digestive problems that do not have a clear physical cause and do not go away with treatment
•Thoughts of death or suicide or suicide attempts

Anxiety

An estimated 31.1% of U.S. adults experience any anxiety disorder at some time in their lives and an estimated 31.9% of adolescents had any anxiety disorder. There are several ways anxiety can manifest, and, like with depression, on a spectrum of severity.
