"Data represent adults ages 18 and over who reported that their mental health was "not good" between one and 30 days in the past 30 days."
Data was gathered by:
"Data based on the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), an ongoing, state-based, random-digit-dialed telephone survey of non-institutionalized civilian adults aged 18 years and older."
Land-lines? Cells? A combo?
"not good" is a bit subjective for my tastes...in a study the purports to be scientific.
You draw a lot of conclusions from this...which is cool..your experience is as valid as any one else...but to draw any conclusions..from this one study..about the on-going state of women's mental health..or the causes, is a bit beyond me..
Very well stated.
The first thing people need to ask when they see these studies is how the study was conducted. Also ask who conducted the study. They may have a conflict of interest.
A lot of times people draw conclusions from stats that are biased and attempting to sell an idea not producing objective results.

It my be beyond you, but it is not beyond the CDC and many government health agencies..
There was a link to the CDC in the original article. Now you both look silly.
The CDC also has a warning for Zombies... It only knows what is reported. As I said- Drs will report women, as they talk to the Drs. Men just hit the bar and tell their bartenders.

They don't have a zombie warning. It is a tongue in cheek campaign to engage new audiences to think about hazard preparedness. They are not actually warning people about zombies.
Good lord, it's frickin' called life, snowflakes. Grow up. Too many of today's so-called adults still act like they are 12. This denigrates the people that actually are mentally ill and need help.
