Chicago residents experience mental health challenges at a higher rate due to unique factors in the city. Social and economic stressors like high poverty rates, violence, and gun crime contribute to feelings of hopelessness and anxiety. Racial disparities also play a role, with minority communities having less access to mental health resources and experiencing higher violence and poverty rates, worsening mental health outcomes. Stigma surrounding mental health can further prevent people from seeking help, especially in certain cultural communities. Finally, a shortage of mental health professionals, particularly in underserved areas, limits access to care.
