 
 <prompt> Few months ago, Dr. Ken Duckworth, one psychiatrist for Massachusetts, dey swim for im community pool, dey gist with other swimmers. When e mention im career, one man wan make Duckworth give am advice on top im struggle with depression; anoda person ask for advice on top family member mental illness.

"I bin dey amazed. Dem dey talk openly about their mental disabilities with stranger for swimming locker room," Duckworth talk, "That kind thing no fit happen 15 years ago."

New research show say these swimmers no be the only ones wey dey open up. According to one new study, more American adults pass before dey report say dem dey disabled by the symptoms of depression, anxiety or other emotional problems.

The report, wey dem publish on Thursday for the American Journal of Public Health, talk say people wey talk say dem no fit do everyday tasks or engage for social and leisure activities because of mental illness increase from 2 percent for 1999 reach 2.7 percent for 2009. That increase reach nearly 2 million more people wey dey disabled by mental distress for the past decade, the report talk.

Although people no talk say dem dey feel more mental distress compared to before, dem talk say their mental health problems dey affect their daily lives pass before.

Dr. Ramin Mojtabai, the author of the study, talk say e no clear whether the findings dey show sad story of greater mental distress for recent times or e dey show say public education about the importance of acknowledging and evaluating mental illness don dey successful.

But Duckworth talk say e fit be say better explanation dey -- like im fellow swimmers, people fit dey more comfortable to talk about their mental distress.

"I dey wonder if this thing dey show us say American culture dey open more and e dey give people chance to talk about am," e talk. "If people get this problem and dem dey ready to acknowledge am, then we dey closer to solve am." <response>: 1. Who be di author of di study?
