Mental Health in Nebraska at a Glance

Data from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) for Nebraska  indicates  that about 18% of the adult population has a diagnosed mental health condition. In addition, almost 34% of adults report having symptoms of anxiety and depression. State youth, which make up over 24% of the population, are on a similar path, with the Behavioral Health Barometer for the NB reporting that 13.6% of those aged 12-17 have experienced a Major Depressive Episode (MDE). While slightly below the regional average, the number has almost doubled from earlier in the millennium. Additionally, nearly 60% of the 12–17 age group with depression did not receive any care in the most recently reported year. When looking at the statistics, it’s clear that Nebraskans are in need of greater mental health support today, and tomorrow. In fact, behavioral health concerns are on the verge of exponential growth. Why? Please keep reading.

Growing Focus on Nebraska’s Relationship with Technology

Challenges to Nebraskan wellness are also found in the form of problematic behavior regarding the use of web-enabled activities, including online gambling, day trading, gaming, social media, shopping, streaming, and emerging dependencies regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI). This corresponds to a notable increase in online search for “internet technology addiction treatment” in Nebraska.
