“New Study finds strong link between Exercise and ability to fight off Depression Symptoms”
The percentage of U.S. adults who report having been diagnosed with depression has reached 29%, nearly 10 percentage points higher than in 2015. The percentage of Americans who currently have or are being treated for depression has also increased, to 17.8%, up about seven points over the same period. Both rates are the highest recorded by Gallup since it began measuring depression using the current form of data collection in 2015.
Rates Among Women, Young Adults, Black and Hispanic Adults Rising Fastest
Over one-third of women (36.7%) now report having been diagnosed with depression at some point in their lifetime, compared with 20.4% of men, and their rate has risen at nearly twice the rate of men since 2017. Those aged 18 to 29 (34.3%) and 30 to 44 (34.9%) have significantly greater depression diagnosis rates than those older than 44.
MY REC STROY
BRAYDEN BAHME
The 4Rec Youth Sports program is about providing an opportunity for kids to enjoy playing sports with their friends, learning teamwork and effort, and developing a passion for playing sports for fun.
Bradyen Bahme modeled what it means to be a 4Rec Youth Sports athlete. Brayden cared about learning new skills, and being the best player he could be for his team and his coaches. He was a true team player who always supported his teammates regardless of their skills and abilities. Brayden was a competitor with a fire inside him to give it his best effort all the time.
