US EditionDepressive Symptoms Increased for U.S. Adults During Pandemic
- Kosuke Inoue and colleagues found that the occurrence of depressive symptoms rose in the U.S. Adult population between August 2021 and August 2023 compared to the period from 2013 to March 2020, based on national survey data.
- The rise was identified through the analysis of data from 23,040 adults collected over a decade, from 2013 to 2023, as part of a major U.S. Health and nutrition study, with particular attention to trends observed during the pandemic timeframe.
- The prevalence of depressive symptoms rose from 8.2% to 12.3%, with adults aged 20 to 44 years experiencing a larger 6.0 percentage-point increase compared to older adults.
- No notable differences in changes to depressive symptoms were observed across sex, race, ethnicity, or income groups, and two of the authors reported receiving funding from pharmaceutical companies.
- The findings indicate a growing burden of depressive symptoms and suggest that efforts should increase mental health care access and address workforce shortages and insurance participation.
