Ranking the Best and Worst US States and Cities for Mental and Physical Health
A recent report by Soliant Health has ranked the best and worst US states for mental health based on factors such as access to mental health providers, unemployment rate, violent crime rate, and air pollution. Nebraska emerged as the top state for mental health, while West Virginia ranked as the worst. New Jersey, which ranked sixth, has expanded its focus on mental health and allocated aid to mental health care, including hotlines and services for students. The report aims to raise awareness about mental health disparities and promote conversations around mental health support.
