And almost 50% of men ages 18-29 have a mental illness. Congrats to the younger generation!
Truthfully, we can’t add these numbers together. For women it’s 86.6 divided by 2, which is 43.3% of women aged 18-29 are on mental health medications.
For men it’s 49.9 divided by 2, which is roughly 25% of men aged 18-29.
These numbers are shocking, but don’t exactly surprise me either. ADHD meds are considered mental health drugs. Some of these people have been on ADHD meds since they were children.
