Back to Depression and Anxiety.

*2-item Patient Health Questionnaire based off the 2 questions in this module on Depression.
Over the last 2 weeks how often have you been 'bothered by having little interest or pleasure in doing things?' and 'have you been bothered by feeling down, depressed or hopeless?'

PLEASE NOTE: Due to changes in the weighting methodology and other factors, results from 2021 are NOT comparable to 2010
and earlier years.

***The estimate was suppressed because it did not meet statistical reliability standards. See BRFSS 2021 Annual Results Technical Notes for more details.

^Use caution in interpreting cell sizes less than 50, % = Percentage, C.I.(95%) = Confidence Interval (at 95 percent probability level).
Percentages are weighted to population characteristics and therefore cannot be calculated exactly from the numbers in this table.
