The Mental Health Crisis in Maryland: A 2025 Perspective
According to recent data from the Kaiser Family Foundation, 27.3% of adults in Maryland reported symptoms of anxiety and/or depressive disorder, compared to 32.3% of adults nationally [1]. This data highlights the critical need for accessible mental health and addiction treatment services in our state.
The Dual Challenge: Mental Health and Substance Use
At Hygea Healthcare, we understand that mental health and substance use disorders often go hand in hand. Recent statistics from NIMH and SAMHSA show:
- Approximately 1 in 5 adults (43.8 million) in the U.S. experience mental illness annually [2]
- About 1 in 25 adults (10 million) face serious mental illness that significantly impacts daily life [3]
- Mental health conditions significantly affect day-to-day functioning, including work, relationships, and overall quality of life [4]
