The State of Mental Health in America:
- 13% of youth ages 12-17 reported experiencing serious thoughts of suicide. The percentage of youth reporting suicidal ideation was highest among youth who identified as Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander (25%) and more than one race (20%).
- 1 in 5 youth had at least one major depressive episode (MDE) in the past year. Over half of them – nearly 3 million youth – did not receive treatment. Of those who did receive treatment, only 65% said it helped them.
