MENTAL HEALTH Report Overview This chapter is part of a larger report created by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services to track progress on the objectives of Healthiest Wisconsin 2020 (HW2020) and identify health disparities in the state. The full report is available at: The report is designed to address the Health Focus Areas in HW2020. Where direct measures exist, data are presented; where direct measures are not available, related information may be included. Information about populations experiencing health disparities is provided in the Health Focus Area chapters and is summarized in separate chapters devoted to specific populations.

MENTAL HEALTH Data notes Please refer to the Technical Notes chapter for a more detailed description of limitations and methods: The 95% confidence intervals are denoted by error bars. Where confidence intervals do not overlap, as shown in the example on the right, differences are statistically significant. Larger confidence intervals may indicate less reliable estimates that should be interpreted with caution. Population estimates that are considered unreliable are excluded. Misclassification of racial/ethnic groups may affect the accuracy of rates. Unless otherwise indicated, the Hispanic population may include people of various races; Whites, Blacks, Asians, and American Indians are non- Hispanic. Report overview 8

MENTAL HEALTH Rationale “Mental health is a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully and is able to make a contribution to his or her community.” 6 Mental illness is the leading cause of disability in the United States; one out of five people will experience a mental health problem of some type during a one-year period. 7 Mental health disorders are associated with an increased risk of physical illness; more specifically, with increased rates of chronic health problems and risk factors such as smoking, physical inactivity, obesity, and substance abuse and dependence.

MENTAL HEALTH Key points: Trends Adults o From 2000 to 2010, suicide rates in Wisconsin increased by 26% in males and by 21% in females. The greatest increases occurred among people ages Youth o From 2001 to 2011, the total number of Wisconsin high school students reporting suicidal ideation declined. The most significant decreases in suicidal ideation were among White and Hispanic youth. Children o From 2003 to 2012, the percentage of children at high risk of developmental, behavioral and social delays declined both in Wisconsin and nationally. o From 2007 to 2012, the percentage of children receiving medications for ADHD, emotions, concentration, or behavior significantly increased both in Wisconsin and nationally. 14 Key points
MENTAL HEALTH Key points: Adults The prevalence of factors related to mental health varies among Wisconsin adult populations. Frequent mental distress:* Females, Blacks, Hispanics, low-income people, Milwaukee County residents, people who are obese, and smokers, report higher rates of frequent mental distress. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs): People with low household incomes and those with disabilities had significantly higher rates of experiencing four or more ACEs. Insufficient sleep and poor emotional support: Milwaukee County residents, people with low household incomes, people with a disability had higher rates of insufficient sleep and lack of emotional support. *Frequent mental distress is defined as 14 or more days of poor mental health in the past 30 days. 15 Key points
MENTAL HEALTH Key points: Youth The prevalence of factors related to mental health varies among Wisconsin high school students. Sexual minority youth, Black youth, and Asian youth had higher rates of depressive symptoms than their peers. Rates of suicidal ideation and behavior were higher among Black and American Indian youth and among sexual minority youth than other youth. Mental health protective factors were highest among White and sexual majority youth. 16 Key points
MENTAL HEALTH Key points: Children The prevalence of factors related to mental health varies among Wisconsin children. A higher percentage of Wisconsin children receive medications for ADHD, emotions, concentration, or behavior, compared to children nationwide. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs): o The deeper the level of poverty, the greater the percentage of children who had experienced two or more ACEs. o Black children experienced two or more ACEs at a higher rate compared to White and Hispanic children. o Children with special health care needs experienced two or more ACEs at a higher rate compared to children with no special health care needs. 17 Key points
