This study shows definitively, or as definitive as you can be in a scientific study- that this is a major problem and that there are problems accessing care.
Ever wondered why so many children are struggling with mental health issues but aren't getting the help they need? In this eye-opening episode of 'The Better Mental Health Show', Dr. Christopher Fasano dives into a recent study that paints a grim picture of children's mental health in the USA. With data highlighting the increasing rates of mental health illnesses among kids and the troubling lack of adequate support, this episode is a wake-up call for parents, educators, and policymakers alike.
Dr. Fasano is joined by Barbara Robles Ramamurthy, a child and adolescent psychiatrist, to break down the study's findings and discuss the barriers to effective mental health care for children. They tackle the stigma surrounding mental health, the shortage of mental health providers, and the gaps in insurance coverage that leave many children without the help they desperately need. The conversation doesn't just stop at identifying problems; it also offers practical strategies for fostering early mental wellness in children.
From teaching kids about emotions to improving communication among care systems, this episode is packed with actionable insights. If you're concerned about the mental well-being of children and want to understand the systemic issues at play, this episode is a must-listen.
