75th Anniversary of Dianetics Sparks Interest in Understanding the Human Mind
The Californer/10330749

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- As the United States faces record rates of anxiety, depression and emotional distress, the 75th anniversary of Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health by L. Ron Hubbard is reigniting a national conversation about what it truly takes to understand the mind.

According to Mental Health America's 2025 State of Mental Health in America report, 23.4 percent of U.S. adults—more than 60 million people—experienced a mental illness in the past year. A separate Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health study found that nearly one in ten adults (8.9 percent) reported a mental health crisis requiring prompt help within the same period. Despite record-level funding and awareness campaigns, indicators continue to worsen, prompting the question: What's missing from our understanding of the mind?

Dianetics has introduced the discovery of two distinct components of the mind—the analytical mind, which thinks and reasons, and the reactive mind, which stores pain and trauma that can unconsciously affect behavior. For millions of readers worldwide, that breakthrough has provided a practical way to understand and address the causes behind anxiety, fear, and self-doubt.
