Close to 8 percent of Americans have depression of some kind, but only about a third of those are getting treated for it, a major federal survey finds. The most depressed group? Women ages 40 to 59. More than 12 percent of women that age say they’re depressed. The least? Teenage boys. Just 4 percent of them have been diagnosed with depression.
“During 2009-2012, 7.6 percent of Americans aged 12 and over had depression (moderate or severe depressive symptoms in the past 2 weeks),” Laura Pratt and Debra Brody of the National Center for Health Statistics wrote.
“About 3 percent of Americans aged 12 and over had severe depressive symptoms,” they added. “Of those with severe symptoms, 35 percent reported having contact with a mental health professional in the past year.”
