SAN FRANCISCO, March 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- As Brain Awareness Week (March 11-17) begins today, Total Brain, the world's first brain optimization platform, announces new research that shows 76% of 18-34 year olds admit they are struggling with their mental health but only 1 in 4 currently receive professional help.
This statistic is based on new findings from the 2019 Total Brain survey of 1,008 Americans 18-55+ years old. Other results from the survey include:
- More than 1/2 of 18-34 year olds have severe or moderate mental fatigue
- More than 1 in 3 18-55+ year olds say anxiety or depression causes them to be mentally unproductive at work

"Our Total Brain platform can be a great starting point with assessment of all twelve brain capacities, mental condition screening, self-care and brain training developed by neuroscientists."
