In 2010, 20% of all visits to primary care 
physicians included at least one of the following 
mental health indicators: depression screening, 
counseling, a mental health diagnosis or reason 
for visit, psychotherapy, or provision of a psychotropic drug.

The percentage of mental health–related visits to 
primary care physicians increased with age 
through age 59 years and then stabilized. 
Approximately 6% of visits for children aged <12 
years and approximately 31% of visits for adults 
aged 75 years were associated with mental health care.
