Dr. Bruce Figuered stops by Good Business San Diego to talk about the rise in reports of mental health concerns

A growing number of young adults are reporting mental health issues that interfere with their work or productivity, according to a recent UK study. Overall, 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. are living with mental illness. So, what is causing the rise in depression and other mental health disorders? Jackson House President Dr. Bruce Figuered believes that stress, societal changes, screen time and social media, and increased feelings of loneliness and isolation are affecting the youngest members of the workforce. Although the stigmas associated with discussing mental health seem to be eroding, some are still hesitant to reach out for help. Jackson House offers residential and outpatient treatment options to fit every level of need, and is proud to be expanding into Idaho and Oregon this year. There has never been a better time to get the help you need.
