Tools used: Datylon

Source: GWI USA (Full disclosure, I work for GWI)

Methodology/other bits: GWI USA started in Q2 2020, so annoyingly we don't have a benchmark for pre-pandemic rates of mental health. But the trend is pretty clear - and has had another recent spike, likely off the back of inflation and cost-of-living worries.

Note this is self-reported data - this is based on respondents who declare whether or not they experience these conditions. In other words, the data in the chart is from the question "do you experience these currently", not "do you currently see a doctor about these".

If you don't have data supporting your story, just don't tell your story - especially not in the headline.

It is a serious topic, and I bet better data, covering a much longer timescale, exist. Your data does not even cover two years.

You can't say there's a spike if you don't have pre-pandemic data shown. Maybe the #'s were higher in 2018 for some reason. We'll never know.
