Abstract

In 2019, women were more likely than men to feel worried, nervous, or anxious on a daily basis (15.0% versus 10.2%). Women were also more likely to feel depressed daily (4.9%) compared with men (3.5%). A higher percentage of women than men reported experiencing daily feelings of both anxiety and depression (3.9% versus 2.6%).

* With 95% confidence intervals indicated by error bars. [figure]
