Approximately half of American adults with major depression do not receive therapy for their illness, a new study in the Archives of General Psychiatry shows.
According to the study, Mexican Americans and African Americans have the lowest rate of receiving depression therapy.
This is worth noting given the large percentage of Hispanics and Latinos in the population of San Jose: 30.2% percent according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
The report on depression treatment was based on three surveys from 2001 to 2003 with a total of 15,762 participants ages 18 and older.
