Poverty and Mental Health in Tyler, Texas
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Tyler’s unemployment rate was 3.5% as of May 2018; this is lower both than the state and national averages of 4.1% and 3.8%, respectively.

Texas’ overall poverty level is 14.7%, slightly higher than the national average and actually one of the lowest poverty levels Texas has seen in years.
While it is difficult to pinpoint why Tyler has such a high poverty rate compared to the state and national averages, poverty and mental illness have a very multifaceted relationship.
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA), poverty exacerbates the symptoms of serious mental illnesses such as anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. The daily struggles of living worsen symptoms of mental illness among people of all economic classes. However, when daily struggles are defined as all-too-real fears about food, shelter, and healthcare and combined with one or more serious mental illnesses, treatment compliance and positive outcomes become more challenging.
Poverty also makes it more likely that a person will experience a serious mental illness. Also, it is worth noting that even people with high school and college educations are more at risk of living in poverty when a mental illness presents itself.
