Mental Health in Illinois
Among the 50 states, Illinois is doing quite well in terms of mental health. The Mental Health Movement has taken the tenth spot in terms of accessibility and affordability. While the state isn’t perfect, approximately 65% of adults who needed mental health care were able to attain services, and only 3.21% of adults in the state lived with severe mental health conditions.
Despite the positive news, Illinois can still improve. According to the National Alliance on Mental Health, nearly 40% of Illinoian adults experienced anxiety or depression. Over 480,000 adults still have difficulty trying to find care, and costs are the number one reason why Illinoians don’t seek assistance.
As of 2025, the state legislature is seeking to overhaul the insurance provider system to make access and payments more equitable. Doing so can make programs more accessible, especially for underinsured clients and young people.
