Original: Mental health problems are more likely to persist among adults now than a decade ago, study finds
A new study finds that mental health problems in adults are more likely to persist today than they were ten years ago. The research suggests conditions such as anxiety and depression are lasting longer rather than resolving, pointing to a shift in the nature of adult mental ill health. The findings add to ongoing concern among health experts about rising and increasingly chronic psychological distress across the adult population.
Why now: The study's finding that mental health issues are becoming more chronic is raising concern amid broader worries about declining population mental health.
