12% of adult Israelis (age 21 ) have suffered at least once in their lives from either mental distress or anxiety, although only 25% of these have applied in the past twelve months to a mental health professional or doctor for treatment. The figures are from a new national health survey published today by the Central Bureau of Statistics and the Ministry of Health.
The survey shows that rates of depression and anxiety in Israel are higher than in Western Europe. On the other hand, panic and post-trauma rates are slightly lower in Israel than in Western Europe.
