## PTSD, depression, and addiction soar amid skyrocketing cases of Omicron.

### As we close out the 2021 year, the mental health of U.S. workers is still struggling.

As Americans brace themselves for year three of pandemic life, their mental health hits an all-time low, according to our Mental Health Index: U.S. Worker Edition.

### Key findings include:

- An alarming 1 in 4 American workers screened positive for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) – up 54% in the past three months and up 136% when compared to pre-pandemic.
- Depression is surging – up 87% since fall (63% higher than before COVID-19).
- Men are struggling the most, with an 80% greater risk of Addiction and 162% increase in Social Anxiety Disorder since three months ago. When looking specifically at men ages 40-59, general anxiety is up 94%.
