Research conducted before the pandemic showed a decade-long rise in the % of young Americans experiencing #mentalhealth disorders, including serious psychological distress, major depression, suicidal thoughts & attempted suicide. #SOTU 2/8 apa.org/news/press/rel…
Two full years of pandemic life have further highlighted the depths of this mental health crisis and the urgency required to address the needs of our nation's children & teens. #SOTU 3/8 apa.org/monitor/2022/0…
In addition to addressing the pandemic's impact on mental health, we must lean on psychological science for a better, more nuanced understanding of social media’s effects on developing brains. #SOTU 4/8 apa.org/news/apa/2022/…
To combat the growing #mentalhealthcrisis, it’s imperative that we reduce barriers to care, including cost, which was the most common reason cited by Americans of all ages for having unmet mental health needs. #SOTU 5/8 apa.org/monitor/2020/0…
We must continue to provide expanded access to telehealth services, which have provided Americans with safe, effective, and accessible care throughout the many challenges of the pandemic. #SOTU 6/8 apa.org/monitor/2022/0…
We have an opportunity to create a mental health system for the 21st century by funding the training & research necessary to address the growing demand for care and by putting mental health on an equal footing with physical health. #SOTU 7/8 apa.org/news/press/rel…
We appreciate @POTUS elevating the importance of our nation’s #mentalhealth and we look forward to working with @WhiteHouse to help address these significant challenges. #SOTU 8/8 whitehouse.gov/state-of-the-u…
