Mental Health Apps Market Trends
Modern lifestyles are characterized by various stressors, including work pressures, social media, financial worries, and lifestyle changes. These stressors contribute to the development or exacerbation of mental health conditions.
- There has been a notable increase in the prevalence of mental health disorders globally. Conditions such as depression, anxiety, stress-related disorders, PTSD, and others are affecting a growing portion of the population. For instance, according to the data reported by National Alliance on Mental Illness, 57.8 million people or around 22.8% of U.S. adults experienced mental health illness in 2021. 5.5% of them were categorized under serious mental illness in the country.
- Moreover, with the increasing emphasis on self-care and self-management of health, many individuals prefer to take an active role in managing their mental health. Mental health apps empower users to track their symptoms, learn coping strategies, practice mindfulness, and access therapeutic interventions independently, aligning with this trend towards self-directed healthcare.
