Mental Health in Georgia

A 2025 Forbes study revealed that Georgia comes in second to last among the 50 states for mental health access and care. More than one third of adults who were experiencing mental health struggles weren’t able to see a doctor due to cost, and less than half of adults with a mental illness received treatment.

Georgia ranks second-to-last in access and care for mental health

What is preventing Georgians from getting the help they need? The biggest barrier is cost.

Fortunately state initiatives are in place to reduce costs. Efforts include increasing insurance coverage, strengthening the mental health profession in Georgia and implementing school programs to connect students to mental health care.

Meanwhile residents of The Peach State can access a variety of services through the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD).

This department offers support for Georgians through community providers throughout the state including a state funded Georgia Criss & Access Line which provides emergency and nonemergency support. The bottom line: Services are available, but finding affordable treatment in Georgia is still a challenge.
