Fox News
Symptoms of depression and anxiety among U.S. adults fell over the first half of 2021, as Americans received COVID-19 vaccine shots and state lockdowns and other restrictions were lifted.
The agency also found that levels reported in June remained elevated compared with National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) estimates from 2019 and that the frequency of symptoms had increased after August of 2020, peaking from December of last year to January 2021.
The CDC used survey data obtained from the bi-weekly U.S. Census Bureau Household Pulse Survey (HPS), which began in April 2020 and was drawn from a selection of the U.S. Census Bureau’s master address file that includes both e-mail and mobile telephone numbers of approximately 117 million U.S. housing units in all 50 states and Washington, D.C.
