A growing number of Americans are making mental health a priority in 2025, according to the American Psychiatric Association. Experts say this trend reflects increased awareness of mental health issues and a desire for well-being.
Many people set goals and aspirations for the new year. For 2025, the American Psychiatric Association reported that 33% percent of Americans are making mental health a resolution. ' Anxiety and depression being problematic, but people getting to the point of, 'Hey, this is not going to work for me.' The truth is more and more people seem more aware of how unhappy and how difficult things are for them,' said clinical mental health counselor Jamison Law.
Matthew Draper, a psychologist and clinical director out of Springville, explained that people might be tired of suffering. 'Put simply, suffering is miserable and they'd like not to suffer as much, and therefore one of the courses of suffering is psychological,' said Draper.Mental health professionals explained it's a step in the right direction as more Americans are looking to improve their well-being. 'We're seeing it more and more, and just from my perspective, because of ongoing concerns that have happened and have really escalated with mental health problems since COVID,' Law said. 'Since then, there's been an uptick in anxiety disorders.' Draper explained the definition of mental health: 'It's those three things: Love, work and suffering.'Experts said a major part of mental health is connection. 'Psychological suffering is relationships. Things going on in relationships with work, things that are going on in our relationships at home, and so therefore part of improving our mental health is improving our relationships where we can,' said Draper.As people look to improve their mental health into the new year, Draper explained that sleep and exercise are significant. 'A very important part of our mental health is what is called our sleep hygiene. Being very aware of where we sleep, how we sleep, the things we inadvertently to do interfere with our sleep'
