Mental health emergency visits among adolescents in the U.S. are declining as pandemic restrictions loosen, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
However, while mental health emergency visits for adolescents overall during that year fell by 11%, poor mental and behavioral health in this age group remains a substantial public health issue, they said.
Between Fall 2021 and Fall 2022, weekly ED visits for opioid-involved overdoses increased by 41% in adolescent males and by 10% in females, according to data published in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
