Prevalence
Behavioral health conditions can have a significant impact on our populations including individuals, families, employers, and our communities overall. The diagnoses and/or ongoing treatment of such conditions are vital to stabilizing and improving the overall health of our communities. Our survey included behavioral health diagnoses and treatment within the last 6 months for common conditions such as anxiety, stress, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and common eating disorders. Specifically, our survey attempted to collect and identify those diagnoses and/or treatment of those conditions within the last 6 months.
