A survey by the Asian American Federation found that 65% if Asian New Yorkers experienced feelings of isolation or anxiety due to anti-Asian hate crimes.
Despite this, there is a significant gap in Asian New Yorkers seeking mental health treatment, with only 20.8% of Asian adults with mental illness receiving treatment in 2020, the survey found.
Over 20% of the survey's respondents cited a fear of potential judgement from others as a reason for not seeking treatment.
