Mental Health Provider Rate
This indicator is archived and is no longer being updated. Click to learn more
This indicator shows the mental health provider rate in providers per 100,000 population.
Mental health providers include psychiatrists, psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, counselors, and advanced practice nurses specializing in mental health care.
Why is this important?
Psychological distress can affect all aspects of our lives. It is important to recognize and address potential psychological issues before they become critical. Occasional down days are normal, but persistent mental/emotional health problems should be evaluated and treated by a qualified professional. Delays in mental health treatment can lead to increased morbidity and mortality, including the development of various psychiatric and physical comorbidities. In addition, it can lead to the adoption of life-threatening and life-altering self-treatments (e.g., licit and illicit substance abuse).
