Figure 3: Mean number of reported mentally unhealthy days in the past 30 days by state

The map presents the mean number of reported mentally unhealthy days in the past 30 days by state using the 2009 BRFSS.

The mentally unhealthy days question is one of four core health-related quality of life measures that have been monitored by states since 1993 using the BRFSS. The question asks “Now thinking about your mental health, which includes stress, depression, and problems with emotions, for how many days during the past 30 days was your mental health not good?”
