Denver is the capital and most populous city of Colorado. The population is 715,522 with 19.1% in poverty. Of 60 ranked counties, the county of Denver is ranked 24th for health outcomes like quality of life and life expectancy and 30th for health factors like health behaviors, clinical care, social and economic factors, and physical environment.
In 2017, approximately 76,100 (1 out of every 8) Denver residents ages 5 and older reported experiencing 8 or more days of poor mental health over the past month. 15% of Denver youth surveyed indicated that mental health issues were affecting their health and 4% specifically mentioned depression. According to the 2015 Health Kids Colorado Survey, nearly 3 in 10 middle and high school students in Denver reported feelings of sadness and hopelessness almost every day for 2 or more weeks in a row. Depression among female youth was significantly higher than males. Gay, lesbian, or bisexual youth were more than twice as likely to have signs of depression than heterosexual youth.
In 2016, approximately 9% of Denver mothers had postpartum depression; 55% of them took prescription meditation for depression, 8% engaged in counseling, and 2% joined a support group. In 2017, data from Denver Health records show that 24% of women had a positive depression screen during pregnancy, and 19% had a positive screen during the postpartum period, meaning they were experiencing depressive symptoms though not all would receive a depression diagnosis. Among Colorado residents involved in the criminal justice system, 25% have a serious mental illness and 80% have an addiction disorder.
According to Mental Health America, Colorado ranks 47 out of 51 states for overall mental health as determined by 15 adult and youth measures of mental illness and access to care. The state fell from a ranking of 29 the previous year, mostly because of an increase in substance use disorders among adults.
924,000 adults, or 21.5% of the population, experienced a mental illness in the past year. 511,000 adults, or 11.9%, reported a substance use disorder – and there’s only one state with a higher rate. Colorado adults have decent access to care with the 11th highest ranking. Still, 50.9% of adults with mental illness were untreated, 28.2% reported an unmet need, and 9% were uninsured. 27.45% of adults with a cognitive disability were not able to see a doctor due to costs.
Colorado youth ages 12-17 are mentally healthier than their adult counterparts, with 13.99% (60,000 youth) having experienced at least one major depressive episode in the past year, which translates to a national ranking of 23. They come in at 12th lowest for severe major depression among youth at a rate of 8.7%. But they reported a substance use disorder at a rate of 5.12%, ranking 48th. 60.9% of youth with major depression did not receive any mental health treatment and only 21.5% of youth with severe depression received consistent treatment.
