Mental Illness Rates in Illinois

There are several common mental health issues in Downers Grove and throughout DuPage County. Many of these issues are similar to national trends. Here are some statistics that paint a picture of mental health in Downers Grove:

  • 2% of adults in Illinois reported alcohol dependence or abuse
  • 5% of adults in Illinois reported drug or substance abuse

  • 2% of countywide emergency department visits for mental disorders were drug-related
  • 9% of residents of Downers Grove have health coverage

These statistics help show that, although the same national issues of depression, substance abuse, and thoughts of suicide affect individuals in Downers Grove, many of the local rates are lower than national averages.

This shouldn’t be a reason to avoid mental health issues in your local community. If you or a loved one is showing some of the signs of mental illness, don’t hesitate to reach out for assistance and guidance. Some common signs include changes in eating and sleep habits, extreme mood swings, thoughts of suicide, or general withdrawal from social activities.

Mental Health Resources in Downers Grove

Some mental health issues require long-term assistance and therapy. Many crises, however, require an immediate response. Treat all thoughts and discussions of suicide as serious and call one of these lifelines if you or a loved one is dealing with suicidal tendencies, domestic violence, or other emergency issues:

These services connect you with local or nationally trained, friendly counselors and assistants who can guide you in an emergency. In terms of domestic violence, suicide, and other issues, a single call could be the difference between life and death.

Factors Contributing to Mental Health Challenges

Despite the better-than-average nature of many of the contributing factors in Downers Grove, these factors still contribute to many local issues of mental health challenges. Local poverty, lack of mental health professionals, substance abuse, and food insecurity are just a few issues that can increase the risk of mental illness in your community.

There are 526 patients for every mental health provider in Illinois. This can make it difficult for individuals who have anxiety, tight schedules, or lack of resources to find the necessary assistance. Substance abuse remains an issue nationally and throughout Illinois, with approximately 19 per 100,000 residents dying of drug overdose per year.

While not the most struggling county in Illinois, DuPage County still has approximately 7.3% of its population experiencing food insecurity. The insecurity of necessities can dramatically increase stress and anxiety, which are contributing factors to many mental health challenges.
