TL/DR –
AMFM Healthcare’s study of 2,000 American adults showed that 73% deal with daily stress, leading to an increased use of digital solutions like artificial intelligence for mental well-being. The survey revealed that stress is often caused by multiple overlapping factors including rising cost of living (82.2%), poor sleep quality (77.1%), and increased feelings of loneliness (58.5%). While physical activity is a popular coping mechanism (69.2%), nearly half of the respondents used substances and 50.8% felt that social media was increasing their overall anxiety, pointing to a need for accessible, healthy coping mechanisms integrated into daily life.
