UNICEF report: 1 in 7 teenagers in the EU suffer from mental disorders

The latest UNICEF report reveals disturbing results.

The report states that one in 7 teenagers in the EU suffers from mental disorders. It is also noted that one third of mental health problems appear before the age of 14 and half before the age of 18.

UNICEF highlights the importance of early action as an essential ingredient in enabling children and young people to realize their full potential.

Most youth experiencing mental health symptoms cannot access care due to systemic barriers such as low service availability, unaffordable costs, and stigma that prevents them from seeking help.

The report states that supporting the mental health of children and adolescents must be a collective effort. While there is no single best model, it provides examples from around the world that show what can be achieved in different environments.

The report also draws attention to the millions of children with mental health problems worldwide who are institutionalized despite having existing families, arguing that this practice violates their human rights and leads to poor health and social outcomes./ CNA
