MENTAL HEALTH STATISTICS IN THE U.S. REPORTS

Texas has a severe shortage of child and adolescent psychiatric care providers, leaving many children untreated. Mental health disorders and behavioral problems are much more common among children in the U.S. than they were previously thought to be. According to the Health Resources and Services Administration, between 2016 and 2020 there was a 29% increase in children ages 3-17 diagnosed with anxiety and 27% increase in those diagnosed with depression. This equates to about 7.7 million children annually, per UT Health School of Public Health.
