1 in 3 teens reported poor mental health during pandemic, study finds

Researchers asked teens if they had experienced electronic bullying, teen dating violence, caregiver loss, food insecurity, sexual violence or emotional abuse during the pandemic.Students who said they had experienced one or two of these events were twice as likely to report poor mental health and three to six times as likely to report suicidal behaviors.

"With COVID-related threats to health, events in the news, and the accessibility of information online, it's hard to insulate yourself from the stress, and has been even harder to find stability, support and connection -- which is what teens need most at this stage of their lives," said Dr. Neha Chaudhary, chief medical officer at BeMe Health and child and adolescent psychiatrist at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School.

Because suicide has been the second-most common cause of death among those ages 10 to 14, mental health professionals say more research is needed to address the influence the pandemic has had on mental health in this vulnerable population.

Thats a nightmare of a stat.

Remind me of this study next time someone advocates for home schooling. Apparently spending to much time with your family is bad for your brain. =)

GOPnazis voted AGAINST mental health in schools.
