from the article:
South Dakota showed the best results for the measures used to develop a
composite depression status indicator, according to the report.
On average, residents of South Dakota experienced 2.41 poor mental
health days a month.
Among adults, 7.31 percent experienced a major depressive episode in the
prior year, and 11.16 percent experienced serious psychological distress.
Slightly more than 7 percent of adolescents experienced a major depressive
episode in the prior year.
In contrast, Utah residents had the highest reported depression rates,
with West Virginia and Kentucky following closely in terms of depression
status.
