Teenage girls have led the way in a surge of children and adolescents visiting hospital emergency rooms for psychiatric care after suicide attempts, self-cutting, violence and drug overdoses, new federal data shows.
Tuesday that 16.1 girls out of every 1,000 children and adolescents visited emergency rooms for psychiatric care from 2018 to 2021, the most recent years of data. By comparison, the visit rate for boys was 12.1 per 1,000 youths.
About a quarter of youths diagnosed with psychiatric problems in the ER received at least one psychiatric medication during the period, the report found. While the report did not say why more girls than boys sought psychiatric care, some mental health experts said it confirms years of clinical evidence that girls are more likely than boys to ask for and need psychiatric help during their teenage years.
According to the CDC report, emergency departments received 1,026,000 visits annually from children and adolescents with diagnosed mental health problems between 2018 and 2021. The rate was 14 psychiatric care visits for every 1,000 children and adolescents.
