Why are so many people seeking therapy?

More than ever, we are stressed and depressed. Many people are feeling the pressures of changes in our society brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has disrupted education, the economy, and relationships.

According to the Vida Health study, the vast majority of us – 88% – have exhibited at least one symptom of depression:

Little interest in doing things
Trouble sleeping
Feeling down or hopeless

At the same time, a Gallup Emotions survey found that over half of Americans are feeling stress. In fact, Americans are the most stressed workers in the world.

Why should employers care?

When employees struggle with mental health, it impacts how they do their work, including:

Engagement
Productivity
Cognitive performance and memory
Communication
Decision-making
