IBI finds 400% increase in workforce anxiety, depression during pandemic

Research by the Integrated Benefits Institute found that two in five employed adults reported symptoms of anxiety or depression disorder – a four-fold increase from pre-pandemic levels – and those in the South and West had the highest percentage of mental health issues, reports BenefitsLink. “The pandemic has only exacerbated long-standing problems around access to care in our broken behavioral health system,” said Kelly McDevitt, president of the Oakland, California-based IBI.
