Mental Health America's 2025 State of Mental Health Report

MHA's State of Mental Health report was released last week and uses the most recent SAMHSA data to highlight and rank states on mental health and well-being. The 2025 report ranks New York, Hawaii, and New Jersey the highest in the nation for mental health - reflecting lower rates of mental illness and higher access to care. Nevada, Arizona and Alabama ranked lowest. A supplemental youth spotlight on mental health advocacy, created by MHA's Young Leaders Council, shows how young people are turning awareness into action and provides strategies and inspiration for other young people to follow.
