NIMH mental illness statistics

NIMH's published prevalence statistics for mental illness. RepVector does not read them directly — here is what they are and what we use instead.

RepVector does not read this source directly.

Nothing in the platform queries NIMH statistics, and no RepVector output is derived from it. This page explains what it covers and points to the connected sources that come closest.

What this source is

NIMH publishes summary statistics on the prevalence of mental illness in the US: any mental illness, serious mental illness, major depressive episode, anxiety disorders, and treatment receipt.

These are editorial pages summarising other collections — most of the adult prevalence figures come from NSDUH, and disorder-specific figures from research surveys such as the National Comorbidity Survey Replication.

The value of the pages is the definitions and the national context, not a queryable dataset.

Known limits

  • There is no API and no geographic detail — these are summary pages, not a dataset.
  • Figures inherit every limitation of the surveys behind them, including household-only coverage and self-report.
  • Disorder-specific prevalence often rests on surveys fielded years ago and rarely repeated.

What RepVector reads instead

Common questions

Does RepVector use NIMH statistics?

RepVector does not read this source directly. Nothing in the platform queries it, and no RepVector output is derived from it. NIMH publishes national summary pages rather than a queryable dataset, so for local prevalence we read CDC PLACES.

Where do NIMH's prevalence numbers come from?

Mostly NSDUH for adult prevalence, plus older research surveys for specific disorders.

Can I get NIMH statistics by state or county?

No. NIMH publishes national figures. For local estimates, CDC PLACES is the usual substitute.
