42% of U.S. adults with a diagnosable condition reported in 2023 that they
could not afford to access the treatment they needed.
Some groups, among adults who need mental health care, are more likely to
face barriers to accessing care, including uninsured people, underinsured
people, and communities of color.
Stigmas surrounding mental health prevent many from seeking help,
including concerns of being perceived as “weak”.
Many are unable to access face-to-face care and have sought support online,
signaling an urgent need for virtual access.
