Eric Tribe shares a few encouraging words and insightful statistics on mental health matters.
How are you doing? Are you anxious? If so, you are DEFINITELY not alone.
Since 2020, Anxiety levels seem to have been rising. On election day, they may be at an all-time high.
In 2024, 43% of adults say they feel more anxious than the previous year.
Adults are particularly anxious about current events — especially the economy, the 2024 U.S. election, and gun violence.
Adults most commonly say stress and sleep have the biggest impact on their mental health, along with social connection.
Despite increasing anxiety, only one in four adults say they talked with a mental health care professional in the past year.
Now, if you’re an entrepreneur, you may be feeling it even more:
– 70% of entrepreneurs feel lonely
– 62% feel they’re sacrificing their present life for future success
– 72% of entrepreneurs reported mental health concerns: a much higher incidence than is found in the general population
Hopefully, you’re reading this, and you are all good.
BUT, if life is feeling a bit harder than you would like it to be, again, just know you are not alone.
