The NY_mental_health
notebook explores the major diagnostic categories for hospital inpatient dischages in New York State in 2017.
The data used can be downloaded from the New York State Health Department website here.
The findings of this exploration are discussed in my published article which you can read on my website: Spotlight on Mental Health.
This article discusses the trends of hospital admissions based on age at a high level. Then, it takes a deeper dive into the mental health category.
The result is a PSA blog that hopes to educate the public in regards to the prevalence of mental health disorders across the state based on age group.
