How to Improve Teen Mental Health
How can we improve teen mental health? Alex Stavros, chief executive officer of Embark Behavioral Health, shares his insights.
Findings from multiple organizations highlight the severity of the teen and young adult mental health crisis in America.
According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data, in 2020, suicide was the second-leading cause of death for ages 10-14 and the third-leading cause for teens and young adults ages15-24.
A December 2021 U.S. surgeon general’s advisory on young adult mental health reported that in early 2021, emergency department visits for suspected suicide attempts were 51% higher for adolescent girls and 4% higher for adolescent boys compared to early 2019.
A 2022 Mental Health America report shared that 15.1% of teens ages 12-17 experienced a major depressive episode in the past year; 10.6% have severe major depression that affects how they function; and over 60% with major depression don’t receive mental health treatment.
