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