Abstrakt: | In the past decade, depression has become more visible in the public conversation; depression has also become bound in national divides. We sought to assess (1) whether positive screen for depression is associated with political party affiliation and (2) whether use of mental health care varies by political affiliation. Positive screen for depression did not differ significantly for Republicans versus Democrats in Spring 2023. However, Republicans were less likely to have received treatment for their mental health in the past 12 months. Depression is a bipartisan issue, and improving access to mental health care could be a priority that unites political groups during the upcoming election season. Competing Interests: No conflicts of interest were reported by any authors. (Copyright © 2024 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved.) |
