In 2023, around 60 million adults in the United States received treatment or counseling for their mental health within the past year. Such treatment included inpatient or outpatient treatment or counseling, or the use of prescription medication. Anxiety and depression are two common reasons for seeking mental health treatment. Who most often receives mental health treatment? In the United States, women are almost twice as likely than men to have received mental health treatment in the past year, with around 21 percent of adult women receiving some form of mental health treatment in the past year, as of 2021. Considering age, those between 18 and 44 years are more likely to receive counseling or therapy than older adults, however older adults are more likely to take medication to treat their mental health issues. Furthermore, mental health treatment in general is far more common among white adults in the U.S. than among other races or ethnicities. In 2020, around 24.4 percent of white adults received some form of mental health treatment in the past year compared to 15.3 percent of black adults and 12.6 percent of Hispanics. Reasons for not receiving mental health treatment Although stigma surrounding mental health treatment has declined over the last few decades and access to such services has greatly improved, many people in the United States who want or need treatment for mental health issues still do not get it. For example, it is estimated that almost half of women with some form of mental illness did not receive any treatment in the past year, as of 2022. Sadly, the most common reason for U.S. adults to not receive mental health treatment is that they thought they could handle the problem without treatment. Other common reasons for not receiving mental health treatment include not knowing where to go for services or could not afford the costs.

In 2024, around 17 percent of men in the United States received mental health treatment or counseling in the past year. The share of men who have received treatment for mental health problems has increased over the past couple decades likely due to a decrease in stigma around seeking such help and increased awareness of mental health issues. However, women in the U.S. are still much more likely to receive mental health treatment than men. Mental illness among men No one is immune to mental illness and the impact of mental health problems can be severe and debilitating. In 2023, it was estimated that 19 percent of men in the United States had some form of mental illness in the past year. Two of the most common mental disorders among men and women alike are anxiety disorders and depression. Depression is more common among men in their late teens and early 20s, with around 15 percent of U.S. men aged 21 to 25 years reporting experiencing a major depressive episode in the past year as of 2022. Depression is a very treatable condition, but those suffering from depression are at a much higher risk of suicide than those who do not have depression. Suicide among men Although women in the United States are more likely to report suffering from mental illness than men, the suicide rate among U.S. men is around 3.7 times higher than that of women. Suicide deaths among men are much more likely to involve the use of firearms, which may explain some of the disparity in suicide deaths between men and women. In 2020, around 58 percent of suicide deaths among men were from firearms compared to just 33 percent of suicide deaths among women. Although more people in the United States are accessing mental health, barriers to treatment persist. In 2022, the thought that they could handle the problem without treatment was the number one reason U.S. adults gave for not receiving the mental health treatment they required.

Quality-driven technological innovations have expanded therapy access and transformed the competitive landscape for providers. Therapists are increasingly relying on new products and services (medical wearables, AI tools and VR/AR platforms) to deliver personalized care, achieve greater patient engagement and therapeutic outcomes. Expansion into underserved markets and strategic consolidations are providing stronger competitive positions for larger providers, while smaller clinics are evading direct competition and focusing on niche offerings and community connections to retain relevance. These changes have fostered resilience and operational adaptability despite volatility in government funding and per capita disposable income. From 2020 to 2025, the sector grew at a CAGR of 3.9%, or 1.8% with pandemic adjustment, to reach $53.2 billion, with revenue rising by 2.3% in 2025 alone. The acceleration of mergers and acquisitions boosts industry concentration, fueling broader investments in technology and supporting the advancement of preventive care initiatives, remote therapy and technology-enabled at-home treatment modalities. As policy changes and reimbursement reductions increase pressure, larger health systems leverage their bargaining power and scale to achieve profitability, while independent practices diversify their service models and seek operational efficiency to buffer economic volatility. Despite these challenges, profit have improved slightly after a significant drop post-pandemic because of increased core costs. Looking forward, the industry faces heightened competition from substitute providers, ranging from specialist doctors to digital wellness platforms, necessitating investments in differentiated services, advanced digital tools and the tracking of measurable outcomes. Continued growth in telerehabilitation and hybrid service models will drive market expansion and improve accessibility. High technology costs will incentivize further consolidation among larger practices, while smaller clinics carve out specialized, personal care niches to attract clients seeking human-centered solutions. The impact of government policy changes (the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) and the government shutdown), which can impact one-quarter of industry revenue, remains uncertain. The OBBBA introduces new requirements that are likely to reduce Medicaid enrollment, increase administrative burdens for providers and compel clinics to adapt to a smaller publicly insured patient base. Some regions may benefit from continued support through Medicare and targeted rural healthcare programs and the net effect will depend on individual state policies and the second-order impacts of closures on healthcare institutions, which can reduce demand for industry services. Despite funding uncertainty and competitive pressures from substitute providers, industry revenue is expected to climb at a CAGR of 3.1%, reaching $61.9 billion by 2030.

Growing recognition of the economic, personal and societal advantages of mental health treatment has increased funding and demand for behavioral therapists. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (2024), nearly one in four adults experienced a mental health condition. The destigmatization of mental health has led more patients to seek behavioral therapy, and healthcare systems increasingly recognize therapists as integral to patient care. Many individuals with behavioral health conditions have coexisting physical issues, prompting healthcare providers to integrate behavioral therapists into care plans, which improves patient outcomes and lowers costs. This enhanced role in traditional healthcare improves access to therapy through more comprehensive employer-sponsored health plans. And as the use of teletherapy increases, industry revenue is expected to climb at a CAGR of 8.5% through 2025, reaching $18.9 billion, growing 2.3% in 2025. The unprecedented demand for behavioral therapists surged as relaxed regulations during the public health emergency allowed for broader treatments; however, an undersized workforce still hinders patient care and industry performance. Shortages of therapists and nonclinical staff have driven up wages, squeezing profit that has trended downwards. Therapist payments and revenues depend on location, urban or rural and payor distribution. However, the growth in telehealth and teletherapy is expanding markets, and online platforms are changing how therapists are paid for services. The private payer market's strength is essential for future growth, making per capita disposable income crucial to revenue volatility for smaller enterprises and independent providers. Looking ahead, underserved demand and the profitability of online platforms can spur entry and competition. Tech innovations, including AI-driven apps, virtual reality and wearable technology, enhance therapy techniques and improve patient outcomes. Online platforms expand therapists' patient pool, yet platforms take a large share of session fees. How Medicaid and private insurers reimburse virtual services will influence how behavioral therapists adapt to the competitive landscape of online providers. Some may join practices to benefit from economies of scale and a shared client pool. The evolving regulatory impact from the OBBBA, the economy's health, adoption of more innovative online delivery methods and staffing shortages will shape revenue growth forecast to strengthen at a CAGR of 3.3% to $22.2 billion by 2030, with profit trending lower.

Self-efficacy is the strongest predictor of completing home exercise programs (HEPs). How physical therapists address low levels of self-efficacy is unknown. Our objectives were to determine (1) knowledge and confidence in addressing patients’ self-efficacy; (2) strategies used to address low self-efficacy; and (3) barriers. Licensed physical therapists who are actively treating patients in the United States participated in our mixed-methods study consisting of: (1) a survey on knowledge, barriers, and confidence; and (2) interviews on strategies used to address low self-efficacy. Descriptive statistics were calculated on all quantitative data. Braun and Clarke’s 6-phase thematic analysis was used for the qualitative data. All 37 participants believed that self-efficacy impacts HEP completion. The majority (72.9%) reported addressing low self-efficacy. Barriers that impacted the ability to address low self-efficacy (Theme 1) included lack of knowledge, confidence, tools, guidance, and community resources, patients’ past experiences and complexities, inability to follow-up with patients, and reimbursement. Due to these barriers, participants primarily addressed patients’ low self-efficacy via communication (Theme 2) and ensuring successful exercise completion (Theme 3). Instead of using Bandura’s fours sources of self-efficacy (i.e., mastery experiences, verbal persuasion, vicarious experiences, physiological state), participants verbalized addressing low self-efficacy via communication and successful exercise completion. Thus, implementation studies evaluating strategies to overcome the identified barriers are needed. Self-efficacy is the strongest predictor of completing home exercise programs (HEPs) as prescribed. Instead of using evidence-informed strategies, physical therapists primarily address low self-efficacy via communication and ensuring that patients complete exercises successfully by simplifying the exercises and repeating the exercises until able to do them without cues. Barriers that keep physical therapists from using evidence-informed strategies include lack of knowledge, confidence, tools, guidance, and community resources, patients’ past experiences and complexities, inability to follow-up with patients, and reimbursement. Physical therapists’ ability to address low self-efficacy and increase HEP completion, can be improved by resolving clinical barriers (i.e., lack of knowledge) with implementation strategies (i.e., training).
