APA Stress in America™ 2025: A Crisis of Connection
At Bluebonnet Counseling & Assessment Center, we see every day how stress, disconnection, and uncertainty impact the well-being of individuals and families in our community. The American Psychological Association’s Stress in America 2025 report highlights just how widespread these experiences have become.
Key Findings from APA’s 2025 Report
62% of U.S. adults say societal division is a major source of stress.
Nearly half of Americans report loneliness—feeling isolated, left out, or lacking companionship.
Those most stressed by division are far more likely to experience anxiety, fatigue, headaches, and chronic health conditions.
Concerns about the nation’s future remain high, especially among young adults and parents.
Stress about misinformation and AI has increased dramatically since last year.
A Message for Our Community
Even with these challenges, the report also highlights resilience: most adults remain hopeful, believe in their ability to build a meaningful life, and feel responsible for shaping a better future.
At Bluebonnet, we remain committed to providing trauma-informed, culturally responsive mental health care that supports connection, emotional well-being, and healthier communities across the Rio Grande Valley.
You are not alone—support is here.
