This report presents findings from the third (wave 3) in a series of follow up reports to the 2017 Mental Health of Children and Young People (MHCYP) survey, conducted in 2022. The sample includes 2,866 of the children and young people who took part in the MHCYP 2017 survey. The mental health of children and young people aged 7 to 24 years living in England in 2022 is examined, as well as their household circumstances, and their experiences of education, employment and services and of life in their families and communities. Comparisons are made with 2017, 2020 (wave 1) and 2021 (wave 2), where possible, to monitor changes over time.

This study aimed to identify factors significantly associated with recent depressive mood with respect to health-related behavioral patterns at the individual level, perceived safety in the school environment, and willingness to share concerns with family and social networks. Self-reported responses to questions regarding recent feelings of depression, health-related behaviors in physical, psychological, and spiritual subdomains, school refusal and perceived safety at school, and perceived social support were obtained from 1,991 in-school adolescents (mean [SD] age = 15.3 [1.7] years; male/female = 936/1055). Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify explanatory factors significantly associated with recent depression, defined as feelings of sadness or hopelessness for more than 2 weeks (during the last 12 months) that interfered with everyday functioning. Of the 1,991 students, 271 (13.6%) reported recent depression. Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed higher odds of recent depression in adolescents with frequent thoughts of school refusal (odds ratio [95% confidence interval] = 3.25 [2.44–4.32]) and those who engaged in regular physical exercise (1.57 [1.19–2.07]), whereas a positive mindset (0.65 [0.49–0.86]), perceived safety at school (0.62 [0.47–0.82]), and perceived social support from one’s mother (0.54 [0.40–0.72]) were associated with lower odds of recent depression. Taken together, our findings suggest that parents and teachers should talk regularly with adolescents about recent life (dis)satisfaction and stressors, particularly when they report frequent thoughts of school refusal. Perceived social support would increase perceived safety on school grounds and make it easier for teenagers to share their concerns with parents, thereby reducing the risk for depressive symptoms. School-based programs that promote a positive mindset would be helpful in preparing students for the challenges of adulthood.

IntroductionDepressive disorders constitute a significant public health challenge. Health literacy might be an important factor to consider in prevention strategies for depressive disorders, which is why this study aimed at exploring the association between depressive symptom levels and severity and health literacy, along with additional sociodemographic factors.Materials and methodsData were collected from two large samples of adults (N = 3,011) and adolescents (N = 1,021) representative of the German-speaking population in Germany. Levels of health literacy (HLS-EU-Q16 questionnaire), depressive symptom severity, rates of depression levels (PHQ-9 questionnaire) and sociodemographic information (age, gender, social status, level of education) were obtained. The associations between sociodemographic factors, health literacy and depression were analyzed using t-tests, analyses of variance and χ2-tests.ResultsOverall, rates of depression were high in both samples (16.5% in adults and 18.4% in adolescents) when measured with the sum score ≥ 10 cut-off criterion and substantially lower when assessed with the diagnostic algorithm criterion (7.2% in adults and 9.8% in adolescents). Rates of depression and severity of depressive symptoms were higher in female than male individuals in both samples. Depressive symptom severity and depression rates increased with increasing age in adolescents and decreased with increasing age in adults. Higher levels of education and lower social status were associated with higher depressive symptom severity and rates in adults, with a more heterogeneous picture in adolescents. In both samples, depressive symptom severity and rates were higher in individuals with poorer health literacy.DiscussionThe results point to a potential role for health literacy in preventing depressive disorders. More research is needed with longitudinal and experimental study designs into the question whether public health interventions targeting health literacy improvements could play a critical role in reducing the burden of depression across different age cohorts.

Between 2013 and 2018, over eight percent of female children and adolescents aged 3 to 17 years in the United States reported that they were depressed, while only around *** percent of male children and adolescents reported the same.

This is the second (wave 2) in a series of follow up reports to the Mental Health and Young People Survey (MHCYP) 2017, exploring the mental health of children and young people in February/March 2021, during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and changes since 2017. Experiences of family life, education, and services during the COVID-19 pandemic are also examined. The sample for the Mental Health Survey for Children and Young People, 2021 (MHCYP 2021), wave 2 follow up was based on 3,667 children and young people who took part in the MHCYP 2017 survey, with both surveys also drawing on information collected from parents. Cross-sectional analyses are presented, addressing three primary aims: Aim 1: Comparing mental health between 2017 and 2021 – the likelihood of a mental disorder has been assessed against completion of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) in both years in Topic 1 by various demographics. Aim 2: Describing life during the COVID-19 pandemic - Topic 2 examines the circumstances and experiences of children and young people in February/March 2021 and the preceding months, covering: COVID-19 infection and symptoms. Feelings about social media use. Family connectedness. Family functioning. Education, including missed days of schooling, access to resources, and support for those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Changes in circumstances. How lockdown and restrictions have affected children and young people’s lives. Seeking help for mental health concerns. Aim 3: Present more detailed data on the mental health, circumstances and experiences of children and young people by ethnic group during the coronavirus pandemic (where sample sizes allow). The data is broken down by gender and age bands of 6 to 10 year olds and 11 to 16 year olds for all categories, and 17 to 22 years old for certain categories where a time series is available, as well as by whether a child is unlikely to have a mental health disorder, possibly has a mental health disorder and probably has a mental health disorder. This study was funded by the Department of Health and Social Care, commissioned by NHS Digital, and carried out by the Office for National Statistics, the National Centre for Social Research, University of Cambridge and University of Exeter.

Key Drivers of the Antidepressant Drugs Market

Growing awareness and reduced stigma will significantly expand the market growth:

The growing awareness of psychological health concerns and the initiatives to lessen the stigma associated with seeking treatment are major factors propelling the market for antidepressant medications. Public knowledge of psychological health concerns, such as anxiety and depression, has grown as a result of developing awareness campaigns and educational initiatives. The number of individuals who identify the signs of mental health disorders and seek professional treatment will rise, which will raise the need for antidepressant drugs. Educating the public about mental health illnesses, accessible treatments, and the need to get assistance is the aim of educational efforts and programs. Media campaigns that feature true tales, celebrity endorsements, and accurate portrayals of psychological health issues contribute to public awareness.

Increased destigmatization of mental health issues propelling the market growth:

As society's perceptions of mental health shift, there is a growing understanding of the prevalence and consequences of mental health conditions, such as anxiety and depression. This changing view has led more people to seek care for mental health difficulties, increasing the demand for effective therapy. Moreover, the reduced stigma has encouraged pharmaceutical companies to invest in the development of new, more potent antidepressants. To satisfy the needs of numerous patients, the industry has expanded to provide a greater range of treatment options.

• For instance, the data updated by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in January 2022 shows depression is one of the most common mental health disorders in the US, and an estimated 46.9% of adolescents with a major depressive episode and significant impairment received treatment in the previous year.

Key Restraints of the Antidepressant Drugs Market

Side effects and safety concerns of antidepressant drugs may hamper the market growth:

Patients may be reluctant to begin or continue antidepressant medication due to worries about potential side effects and their general well-being. Reduced market development and poorer solution rates may result from patient resistance and non-compliance. Regulations and warning labels have the potential to negatively affect consumers' perceptions and reduce their belief in the safety of antidepressant drugs, which can hinder the growth of the market. Unfavorable events and health issues may lead to legal actions and lawsuits against medication companies. Legal disputes may be detrimental to a business's profits, the reputation of an antidepressant, and consumer trust.

Delayed Diagnosis and Insufficient Treatment in Economically Disadvantaged Areas:

In numerous developing nations, the scarcity of mental health practitioners and prevailing cultural stigmas lead to a significant underdiagnosis and low rates of treatment. Consequently, this hinders the uptake of antid...

Currently, depression is the predominant mental illness impacting adolescents, causing severe damage to their overall health. Engaging in physical exercise can not only aid in restoring adolescent physical well-being but also function as a strategy to prevent depression and lower suicide rates. Drawing upon data from the China Education Panel Survey (CEPS) conducted between 2014 and 2015, this study delves into the effects of physical exercise on alleviating depressive symptoms among adolescent students and explores the underlying mechanisms through the lens of parent-child interactions and peer relationships. The mediation effect tests indicate that physical exercise can mitigate adolescent depression by reinforcing parent-child bonds and improving peer connections. Parents and educational institutions should judiciously plan the time for adolescents to engage in both academic pursuits and physical activities, and they should encourage greater participation in sports among adolescents through various means, thereby maximizing the beneficial role of physical exercise in ameliorating adolescent depression.

SUMMARY This table contains data about women, ages 15 to 50, pregnant people, infants, children, and youths, up to age 24. It contains information about a wide range of health topics, including medical conditions, nutrition, dehydration, oral health, mental health, safety, access to health care, and basic needs, like housing. Local, county-level prevalence rates, time trends, and health disparities about national public health priorities, including preterm birth, infant death, childhood obesity, adolescent depression and substance use, and high blood pressure, diabetes, and kidney disease in young adults. The population data is from the 2023-2024 San Francisco Maternal Child and Adolescent Health needs assessment and is published on the Open Data Portal to share with community partners, plan services, and promote health. For more information see: Maternal, Child, and Adolescent Health Homepage Maternal, Child, and Adolescent Health Reports HOW THE DATASET IS CREATED The Maternal, Child, and Adolescent Health (MCAH) Needs Assessment for San Francisco included review of a wide range of citywide population data covering a ten-year span, from 2014 to 2023. Data from over 83,000 birth records, 59,000 death records, 261,000 emergency room visits, 66,000 hospital admissions, and 90,000 newborn screening discharges were gathered, along with citywide data from child welfare records, health screenings in childcare and schools, DMV records of first-time drivers, school surveys, and a state-run mailed survey of recent births (California Department of Public Health MIHA survey). The datasets provided information about approximately 700 health conditions. Each health condition was described in terms of the number of people affected or cases, and the rate affected, stratified by age, sex, race-ethnicity, insurance status, zip code, and time period. Rates were calculated by dividing the number of people or events by the population group estimate (e.g., total births or census estimates), then multiplying by 100 or 1,000 depending on the measure. Each rate was presented with its 95% confidence interval to support users to compare any two rates, either between groups or over time. Two rates differ “significantly” if their 95% confidence intervals do not overlap. The present dataset summarizes the group-level results for any age-, sex-, race-, insurance-, zip code-, and/or period-specific group that included at least 20 people or cases. Causes of death, health conditions that affected over 1000 people in the time frame, problems that got worse over time, and health disparities by insurance, race-ethnicity and/or zip code were flagged for the MCAH Needs Assessment. UPDATE PROCESS The dataset will be updated manually, bi-annually, each December and June. HOW TO USE THIS DATASET Population data from the MCAH needs assessment are shared in several formats, including aggregated datasets on DataSF.gov, downloadable PDF summary reports by age group, interactive online visualizations, data tables, trend graphs, and maps. Information about each variable is available in a linked data dictionary. The definition of each numerator and denominator depends on data source, life stage, and time. Health conditions may not be directly comparable across life stage, if the numerator definition includes age- or pregnancy-specific diagnosis codes (e.g. diabetes hospitalization). For small groups or rare conditions, consider combining time periods and/or groups. Data are suppressed if fewer than 20 cases happened in the group and period. Group-specific rates are available if the matched group-specific census estimates (denominator) were available. Census estim

In 2019, over eight percent of children and adolescents aged 14 to 17 years in the United States in families with household income less than 100% FPL reported that they were depressed, while only five percent of U.S. children and adolescents in families with more than 200% FPL reported the same. This statistic illustrates the percentage of children and adolescents in the U.S. who had or have ever had depression from 2013 to 2019, by household income.

IntroductionBullying and victimization in adolescence is associated with mental health problems including depression. Depression in East Asian adolescents presents similarities and differences from that in Western adolescents. This review reports on the prevalence and psychosocial associations of bullying and depression in East Asian adolescents.MethodsElectronic databases (Medline, and Embase) were searched for English language articles on bullying and its associations for a span of 10 years (1st January 2013 to 19th January 2024). Searches were limited to studies conducted in East Asia involving adolescents 10-19 years of age.ResultsOut of 1,231 articles initially identified, 65 full-text articles (consisting of 44 cross-sectional and 21 cohort studies) met the inclusion criteria and were included for qualitative synthesis & analysis. Prevalence rates of bullying ranged from 6.1% - 61.3% in traditional bullying victimization and 3.3% to 74.6% in cyberbullying victimization with higher rates in at-risk groups (e.g., adolescents with internet addiction). Psychosocial associations of bullying and depression which were similarly found in Western cultures include individual factors of coping style and gender; family factors of functioning and sibling relationships; and community factors of friendship and school-connectedness. In contrast, unique East Asian risk factors included being different (i.e., sexual minority status) and teachers as bullies.ConclusionFindings of this scoping review suggest that strong relationships within families, peers and the school community coupled with adolescents’ positive coping style are protective against the negative effects of bullying. Conversely, poor parent-child attachment in the midst of family dysfunction, poor engagement with peers and the school community together with low self-esteem predispose East Asian adolescents to depressive symptoms as a result of victimization. Similar to Western cultures, adolescents who are bully-victims and poly-victims are most vulnerable to depression. As a significant proportion of bullying occurred in school, future research could focus on a whole-school intervention approach to counter bullying.
