The Importance of Adolescent Mental Health Services

Several new studies have been released concerning data regarding American youth's mental health within the last decade. Today, between 10-20% of children and adolescents experience various mental health issues, with the majority never receiving professional care. Furthermore, of all mental health conditions present in the United States, more than half are established by the age of fourteen, and 75% by the age of 24. This data showcases the current mental state and limited resources available to American children and teenagers. Julio Avael hopes to create more avenues for American children and adolescents to receive help and reduce the thousands of teenage deaths caused by suicide each year.

Puberty can drastically affect brain chemistry and lead to a number of mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders. Unfortunately, teenage girls are two times as likely to experience depression than boys due to the brain regions affected by depression having high concentrations of sex hormone receptors. Between the ages of 13 to 18, mental health reports show an almost fifty percent increase in American youth's mood disorders (8.4% to 15.4%). Today, almost 1.8 million teens experience severe depression, which can negatively impact their ability to build relationships at school and perform well in their studies. One of the many negative effects of untreated mental health issues is substance and alcohol abuse, which impacts more than 5% of all American teenagers. In order to prevent the development of substance and alcohol abuse in American teenagers, adolescent mental health issues must be more widely supported by both the US healthcare and the American school system.
