The good news is Tyndall says he’s “motivated.” He knows he needs help, and he seeks it.

That’s why mental health experts are generally so grateful when a big name — like Biles or Osaka — talks about their own mental health. It increases the potential for people who need services to seek them.

That problem has become even more acute during the nation’s battle with COVID-19. Earlier this year, nonprofit Mental Health America issued its annual report on the state of mental health in the U.S. Among the findings:

• 60% of youth with major depression received no mental health treatment in 2017-2018.

• More than 38% are not receiving mental health services they need, even in states with the greatest access.

• Only 27.3% of youths with severe depression received consistent treatment.

• 23.6% of adults with a mental illness reported an unmet need for treatment in 2017-2018. This number has not declined since 2011.

 The fear among some mental-health professionals is that the need will be even greater in coming years as people deal with various effects of the pandemic, from isolation to evictions and homelessness, and long-term health problems related to the virus.
