COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY — A new study says three-fourths of all moms in the US are struggling with some degree of mental health issues.
The study published by Columbia University looked at nearly 200,000 mothers over a seven-year period and found only 25% reporting “excellent” mental health.
That’s down from 38% in 2016.
The study also showed declines in physical health among US mothers, especially among those who were single, younger, less educated, and whose children were multi-racial or uninsured.
