Unfortunately, mental health problems are common in our youth. A recent study by the CDC found that among adolescents aged 12 to 17, just under 21% had experienced a major depressive episode within the past year. Among high school students, more than 35% reported feeling sad or hopeless, with nearly 20% seriously contemplating suicide and mental health disorders are not limited to our teens. Over 17% of children aged 2 through 8 have had a diagnosis of a mental, behavioral or developmental disorder. Are mental health disorders in our youth increasing? How might depression present in a child or adolescent? How common is suicide in our youth and how often are suicide attempts successful? I’ll be asking these questions and more to my guest in today’s podcast on “Pediatric Mental Health Disorders” as part of our “Back to School” podcast series. My guest is child psychologist Joselyn R. Lebow, Ph.D., L.P., from the Mayo Clinic.
