Mental Health in Washington

While Washington tops the rankings for natural beauty and technology companies, when it comes to mental health treatment, it ranks among the lowest in the country. In 2024 Mental Health America put The Evergreen State at #49 for prevalence of mental illness among adults and #48 for youth. Across the state 1,269,000 adults have a mental health condition, and 82,000 youth aged 12-17 have depression.

However, a bright spot in the state rankings can be found in their access to care. Despite the high prevalence of mental illness the state came in at 15 for access to treatment. This ranking was achieved despite the cost of mental health services in Washington increasing 69% from 2017 to 2022.

Still, cost is a barrier to treatment for many, and more than 2.8 million Washingtonians live in communities with insufficient treatment options. Policy makers are pushing to expand insurance coverage for mental health treatment and turn the tide on these numbers, for better overall mental health throughout the state.
