Kentucky
Rates of depression and other mental-health problems are higher than the national average throughout the mountainous and sparsely settled region known as Appalachia. They are higher still in the coal-mining areas of central Appalachia, which includes most of eastern Kentucky.
Poor mental health in Kentucky is part of a constellation of social problems that includes high joblessness and drug abuse. ?When people don?t have good jobs to support families, I think that leads to depression and anxiety, which in turn leads to substance abuse,? Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear told the AP in 2008.
