U.S. Youth Mental Health Crisis May Be Easing, ER Data Suggest

Source: CBS News - HealthAmerica's youth mental health crisis shows signs of improvement, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Thursday, based on slowdowns in emergency room visits compared to the year prior. Compared to a pre-pandemic "baseline" in the fall of 2019, however, the CDC's report also suggests that average weekly emergency room visits remain as high or worse than they were for suicide and drug overdoses.
