Despite these numbers, residents of the Empire State seem to be fairing well when it comes to mental health support. Mental Health America ranks New York as number one among the states for having a balance of lower mental illness prevalence and higher rates of access to care for adults.

New York holds this ranking, despite an overall decrease in inpatient treatment availability. Over the past decade, the state comptroller reports a steady decline in the number of psychiatric inpatient beds, with 20 NY counties having none.

However, access to treatment via telehealth options continues to rise. In the same recent decade, state policies have expanded telehealth services, and millions of New Yorkers are now accessing services remotely – a trend that is expected to continue.
