I recall them being worryingly high then too, though not this bad. can probably find it for 2018 and 2019 in a few, WaPo article did have this chart for suicide too at least: but i can look around for stuff. easiest starting point i found was here: https://www.mhanational.org/issues/state-mental-health-america covered data from a few years so you can see what things were pre-covid and the issues that were rising from 2016 to 2018 in most areas, good data tends to trail by 2 years. still, they had a January to September spotlight, and a few of their results showed (this is all copy/paste): From January to September 2020, 315,220 people took the anxiety screen, a 93 percent increase over the 2019 total number of anxiety screens. 534,784 people took the depression screen, a 62 percent increase over the 2019 total number of depression screens.

People screening at risk for mental health conditions are struggling most with loneliness or isolation.
