Most Americans Feeling Depressed, Survey Finds

The terrorist attacks have united the country in its backing for a strong military response but have left many Americans depressed, distracted and sleepless, a poll found.

Seven in 10 said they have felt depressed since the attacks, nearly half report having trouble concentrating and a third said they have had trouble sleeping, according to the poll by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.

Women were more likely to say they were feeling depressed about the attacks--4 in 5--than men--fewer than two-thirds. Parents were more likely than childless people to feel depressed. Residents of major cities along both coasts were more likely to say they were depressed by the attacks than were other Americans.

Women also reported more problems sleeping than men.
