Mental Health in Arkansas

Nearly half a million Arkansans have a mental health condition, and 125,000 have a serious mental illness according to NAMI reports. The state ranks particularly high for reported symptoms of depression and anxiety. Of those who report symptoms of anxiety and depression only 25% get the support they need.

While the state’s most recent statistics place it about mid-range – #31 in Mental Health America’s state ratings – this ranking is a significant improvement from 2023 when Arkansas ranked #45. This may be due in part to recent efforts that state has made to improve mental health services.

Additional funding and initiatives established a statewide crisis response system and increased youth treatment programs. They have also improved supportive housing and established more therapeutic community beds for adults. The state has also awarded grants to support expanded mental health related programs. The hope is that these efforts will continue to improve access to quality mental health care for Arkansans across the state.
