Fear, grief, uncertainty and isolation during the pandemic have triggered a national state of emergency in the mental health of America’s youth, leading child health care groups warned Tuesday.
Youngsters already faced significant mental health challenges, and the pandemic has made them worse, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP) and the Children’s Hospital Association (CHA). Together, they represent more than 77,000 physicians and more than 200 children’s hospitals.
“Children’s mental health is suffering. Young people have endured so much throughout this pandemic and while much of the attention is often placed on its physical health consequences, we cannot overlook the escalating mental health crisis facing our patients,” AAP President Dr. Lee Savio Beers said in a news release from the three groups.
“Today’s declaration is an urgent call to policymakers at all levels of government — we must treat this mental health crisis like the emergency it is,” Savio Beers urged.
The statistics bear that out: Between March and October 2020, the percentage of emergency department visits for children with mental health emergencies rose by 24% among children aged 5 to 11 and by 31% among children aged 12 to 17, the groups said in a statement. And there were 50% more suspected suicide attempt-related emergency room visits among girls aged 12 to 17 in early 2021 than in early 2019.

DeSantis for president! He’s been claiming this since for moths, he fought the teachers unions and school boards all the time.
It’s mostly because they force little children to wear a worthless mask.
Us adults are not doing well at all. My family can’t stand me. I am lonely. I really don’t know how much I am able to exist. Unhappy and about hopeless.
Oh no, seek help ASAP. Its not a weakness. Trust me I also suffered and the hardest part is admitting and seeking help.
Break the numbers down by “race”, and it tells a really wild story.
The young (like the old) cannot handle the virus hoax anymore. They see that the pandemic where people are dying is only in hospitals or by those who were vxed. They listen to mainstream fake news, as well as to doctors, and hear them lying through their teeth and nothing is true. How can they not go bananas?

As “the pandemic has made them worse,” the answer of what to do is glaringly obvious:
STOP THE STUPID PANDEMIC!!
Now, yes, there are dangerous viruses & germs & other harmful elements out there, and, very tragically, countless thousands of people did get deathly sick. But these Covid diseases can easily be well cured by any one of numerous treatments in both Modern Pharmaceutical Medicine and Natural Healing Medicine. So, all the Lockdowns & Masks & Six-Feet-Distancing & Flexi-Glass-Partitions & severely dangerous new Covid vaccines are all TOTALLY NOT NECESSARY!! They are not only not necessary, they DO NOT stop disease; on the contrary, as we see here, they actually cause MORE disease!!
The heavy handed so-called “legal” mandates for them are a complete hoax!! At least half of the time, most of the big government officials themselves do not adhere by them!! As most of the big government officials themselves do not adhere by them, we certainly should not adhere by them!!
