Teen Depression and Suicide Rates are on the Rise-Ohio AAP Free Virtual Meeting will Provide Resources & Tools for Your Patients….

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic pediatricians have reported more than a 50% increase in teen depression. It’s clear the pandemic has had a huge impact on teen mental health and suicide risks- with changes in school schedules and lack of contact with friends causing increased stress, anxiety and feelings of isolation for many. The Ohio AAP is committed to addressing these rising concerns and has dedicated this year’s Spring Education Meeting to this topic.
