Mental Health Indicators and Inadequate Sleep Among New Mexico Youth, 2019

The purposes of this report are to describe the mental health data currently collected by NMDOH, quantify the burden of mental illness and related risk factors and outcomes in New Mexico, and identify mental health disparities in New Mexico.

Depression is one of the most prevalent and treatable mental disorders encountered by clinicians in primary care practice. Approximately 6.7% of U.S. adults 18 years and older had a major depressive disorder in the past 12 months. Yet, only 56.8% of these individuals received any mental health treatment during that time. The majority (51.7%) of those that received treatment sought some care in the general medical setting.
