Nearly&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6932a1.htm?s_cid=mm6932a1_w" target="_blank">2 in 5 adults</a>&nbsp;struggled with mental health issues in 2020, compared to about&nbsp;<a href="https://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/reports/rpt29393/2019NSDUHFFRPDFWHTML/2019NSDUHFFR1PDFW090120.pdf" target="_blank">1 in 5 adults</a>&nbsp;before the pandemic.&nbsp;<a href="https://nami.org/MHStats" target="_blank">Among adults with mental illness</a>, only 46% received treatment in 2020, a number that is far lower among Black Americans (37%), Hispanic/Latinx (35%) and Asian Americans (21%).<br /><br />The crisis is especially acute among youth and young adults, as trends that had already predated the pandemic have turned even more ominous. In 2020, 75% of people aged 18&ndash;24 reported at least one mental health or substance use concern. In 2021, emergency department visits for suspected suicide attempts were 51% higher among adolescent girls than in 2020.<br /><br />Between 2020 and 2021, calls to the&nbsp;<a href="https://nami.org/help" target="_blank">NAMI HelpLine</a>&nbsp;(1-800-950-NAMI, or 6264) about depression and anxiety increased by 80%, calls about suicide increased by 185%, and calls about mental health crises increased by 251%. Overall, the number of people the HelpLine assisted increased 79% from 2019 to 2021.<br /><br />But there is hope. NAMI has responded to the crisis by extending HelpLine hours twice in 2021 alone, now operating from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern time, Monday&ndash;Friday. It also added a new live chat feature. NAMI has put significant resources in early intervention to address the youth mental health crisis and the organization has been at the forefront of envisioning a new crisis response system as the nation gets closer the July launch of 988, a three-digit number for those in a mental health crisis.<br /><br />&ldquo;During this Mental Health Awareness Month, we want you to know that NAMI stands together with you as we confront this unprecedented mental health crisis,&rdquo; said NAMI CEO Daniel H. Gillison Jr. &ldquo;We are working harder than ever to meet people where they are &mdash; to offer education and support in ways no one else can match, with our 650 affiliates and 49 state organizations nationwide.
