First responders often experience chronic stress, which can lead to challenges. Additionally, there is often a stigma around seeking help for mental health challenges among first responders, which can prevent them from seeking treatment.
it is essential to prioritize mental health care for first responders to support their well-being and ensure they can continue to provide vital services to our communities. More importantly we deserve to be happy and healthy.
Studies have found that the prevalence of depression among first responders ranges from 7% to 37%, compared to the general population's 6.7%.
First responders have higher rates of anxiety disorders, with an estimated 10-20% experiencing an anxiety disorder compared to the general population's 18%.
First responders are at an increased risk of developing PTSD, with an estimated 7-19% experiencing symptoms compared to the general population's 3.5%.
