How many older adults in California have depression and how can seeing a psychologist be beneficial?

Nearly 14.6 % of adults age 65 and older reported being told by a health professional that they had a depressive disorder, including depression, major depression, minor depression or dysthymia.

Around 14.7% of adults in California experience frequent mental distress, which means they reported their mental health was not good for at least 14 days in the past month.
