Mental Health in Iowa
Mental illness affects Iowans on a daily basis. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, nearly half a million people in Iowa have a mental health condition. Among them, 128,000 have a serious mental illness.
But the question is, are Iowans getting the care they need for their mental health? Sadly, an analysis of the CDC’s cause of death data puts Iowa’s suicide rate above the national average: 17.5 per 100,000 in Iowa compared to 14.1 per 100,000 across the US. Iowa has higher rates of suicide by firearms and by other means as well compared to the US overall.
This isn’t surprising, unfortunately, because so many Iowans don’t get the mental health care they need. According to NAMI, 42% of Iowans report having symptoms of anxiety or depression and over 25% of them aren’t able to get the treatment they need. The numbers are even more concerning for youth – 58% of teenagers in Iowa who have depression don’t get treatment for it.
