SEATTLE, Sept. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — More than 90% of people who died by suicide showed symptoms of mental health conditions, yet 59% of US adults with a mental health condition received no mental health services in the past year, according to a new QuoteWizard.com report.
QuoteWizard®, a LendingTree company, and one of the nation’s leading online insurance marketplaces, released its report on how mental health care access across the country affects mental illness and suicide rates to bring awareness for National Suicide Prevention Week: Sun, Sep 8, 2019 – Sat, Sep 14, 2019, and September Suicide Prevention Month.
Key Findings:
Methodology
Using state ranking data from Mental Health America, we ranked each state 1 to 50 for prevalence of mental illness and access to mental health care. Overall, rankings were determined by a composite score of prevalence and access rankings. States that scored highest overall composite score were states that had a high rate of access and a low rate of prevalence.
Mental Health America state rankings for prevalence were based on factors such as thoughts of suicide, population with mental illness and substance abuse. State rankings for access were based on factors such as uninsured rates, health care costs and government programs.
