According to USA Today (1/8, Groppe, Elbeshbishi), a new USA Today/Suffolk University poll reveals that an “overwhelming majority of Americans believe the U.S. is in the grips of a full-blown mental health crisis.” The poll shows that nearly “two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, which brought a rise in depression, anxiety, stress, addiction and other challenges, almost nine in ten registered voters believe there’s a ‘mental health crisis’ in the nation.” The poll also found that a “majority of those surveyed also said poor mental health is primarily responsible for mass shootings, alcohol and drug addiction, and suicides.”
