2025 NAFC Annual Survey: Mental Health

NAFC’s latest national survey explores one of the most overlooked dimensions of bladder and bowel conditions: the profound impact on mental and emotional well-being. A 56 question survey was conducted with 330 respondents with who shared (multiple choice & open end) candid experiences about how incontinence affects their daily lives—including anxiety, depression, social isolation, sleep disruption, intimacy, confidence, and overall quality of life.

This report highlights critical connections between symptom severity, treatment engagement, coping behaviors, and emotional health. The findings reveal significant unmet needs and underscore the importance of whole-person care approaches in pelvic health.

For industry leaders, researchers, and healthcare partners, this survey offers a unique, patient-reported lens into the psychological burden of incontinence—an area essential to improving outcomes, guiding innovation, and shaping patient-centered solutions.
