HealthDay (9/20, Collins) reports, “Nearly one in five counties across the United States lack psychiatrists or internet service, making it difficult for around 10.5 million Americans to find mental healthcare,” according to findings published online Sept. 14 in JAMA Network Open. Those “counties examined in the study were more likely to be in rural areas, have higher unemployment rates, and have populations that were more likely to be uninsured and lack a bachelor’s degree.”
