A recent survey conducted by ABC News’ Dr. Darien Sutton reveals a significant and concerning rise in depression rates among young adults over the past decade. The data indicates a doubling of reported cases compared to previous periods. Specifically, the increases are most pronounced among lower-income Americans, representing a substantial portion of the affected population. The survey utilized data from a large national cohort, revealing a correlation between socioeconomic status and the prevalence of depressive symptoms. Researchers attribute these trends to factors such as increased societal pressures and access to mental health resources. Further investigation is underway to understand the underlying causes and potential long-term implications.
