Mental Health in Pennsylvania

The Pennsylvania Mental Health Procedures Act of 1976 established the state’s standards for the mental health profession. Since then, Pennsylvania has earned relatively good marks for making mental health care a public concern.

One study by Forbes in 2024 ranked Pennsylvania sixth in terms of having access to care, and a mental health snapshot shows the state ranking 18th in overall mental health, with 23% of adults and 20% of youths experiencing depression or other mental health disorders.

6th

Pennsylvania is ranked 6th nationally for access to mental health care

18th

Ranked 18th nationally for overall mental health

Even as the state’s statistics are close to the national average, there is much room for improvement. Forbes noted that over 54% of children did not receive mental health services, and the National Alliance on Mental Illness noted that over 2,000 Pennsylvanians committed suicide in 2021.

Grassroots groups like NAMI Philadelphia and the SAM Foundation continue to reach out to locals and spread awareness and assistance.
