Mental Health in Texas

The Lone Star state may rank #1 for wind, oil and gas production, but when it comes to mental health care, Texas is at the bottom of the pack.

50th

In both 2023 and 2024, Forbes ranked Texas as the worst state for mental health care.

20%

Of Texas adults are living with a mental illness

Over 60%

Of those do not receive treatment

The ranking is due in part to a high number of uninsured adults with mental illness and a low number of mental health treatment centers. The result? More than 60% of Texans who have a mental illness don’t receive treatment.

In addition to a lack of insurance Texans also face a shortage of mental health professionals. Texas is also home to fewer treatment centers than other states. Rural areas are hit particularly hard by this shortage, although new telehealth options may improve treatment access for Texans.

Meanwhile the need for treatment remains high, with the National Alliance on Mental Illness reporting roughly 20% of Texas adults are living with a mental illness.
