- Investigative correspondent Stephen Stock explores how a severe shortage of mental health services for youth puts a strain on the system. Patients facing mental health crises often end up in the ER because there's no place else for them to go.

Shame on the ppl who voted to close mental health facilities years ago. When will stop being a reactive society? Mental health funding should have never dried up.
It's cheaper to throw them into the streets.
The ER isn't staffed with psychiatrists.
Our mental health care system is really messed up. I would say that it's broken, but that would imply that at some point in time, it was fixed. Adults also cannot get good emergency mental health care unless they voluntarily agree to be incarcerated into a hospital. This is not acceptable.
What is wrong with Incarceration?
You can’t leave a child who suffers from suicidal ideation all alone. ER’s need 24/7 sitters that aren’t always available. This causes all sorts of problems. And when you try to find inpatient care there’s no room or private facilities don’t take the uninsured or underinsured. Then these poor kids end up in a small locked room, like a jail cell, which causes even more trauma or they’re just discharged and told to follow up the nearest crisis center.
They need to re-open Penn Hurst.
It's simple. Parents need to raise their children, not tiktok or other ridiculous online crap.WW1&WW2 kids went through wars and they were our grandparents. We raise our kids today like babies and that's why they act like babies. Not rocket science
Thank you for speaking up and fighting the war against stigma.
That is true for all ages. It needs to change.
This is so sad, I used to work in a mental health unit in a hospital. And they close because of funds. It’s so true the ER it’s so sad for the people that goes there with a mental health problem, as ER doesn’t know how to treat people with those issues. The unit that I used to work make it easier as they didn’t have to true ER at least they become combative. I was so sad when the unit close, I feel that I had a purpose helping all the patients 🙏❤️❤️ hopefully gets better, we need more mental health hospitals every were in USA 🇺🇸
Maybe being non-profit is a problem for the hospitals. They have more than enough money, for expansion, but don't want to waste it on patients.
A lot of mental health doesn't stem from diagnosed disease. Much comes from depression, lack of self esteem, and not understanding the dynamics of socialization. Spend time with your children. Teach them to develop their talents and value themselves. Parents can do a lot to alive anxiety in children. Get them interested in the world, instead of themselves.
That man has a point love and validation is a boost for sure. ❤ mental Health Matters
This breaks my heart
Mental health is very poor in kids these days. A life of online such as social media and unhealthy algorithms, poor future life prospects, and general increase in cannabis use. It's all having a really bad effect on them.
Mental Health Matters ❤
What about the parents? Isn't it their job to counsel, support, listen and explain things to them? I know kids are in crisis without as much help as they need, I've devoted my life to helping the bullied, the sad and depressed or anxious; I used to be a big brother for several of them years ago at the local elementary school: I was targeted by bullies all of my life. It didn't help standing up to a bunch of snotty, bratty girls for not only bullying, but burying this poor overweight girl named Cris in so many sleeping bags she couldn't breathe; they just laughed. I tore into them like I'd never done before, it was a good thing I didn't swear back then, as I yelled my head off chewing them out. Popular before, but no longer; as if I cared. Who'd want to be so evil and vile?
Hi
Everything in life is complicated and overwhelming, causing mental meltdown for the unprepared.
We are not doing anything about mental health I. This country at all. I believe that’s why we have to much crime
Horrible! Facilities for youth are worse!
Older men are actually the highest group of suicides, but we never hear about that. Many people just dump their elders in some home, it's pathetic; the same with dogs. Most other cultures revere the elders, but not here. It's all about pre-teens and up to about 24.
And we will do nothing. Politics and economics will stay exactly the same or get worse. It just never ends
I disagree. All the children from WW1&WW2 turned out fine. And they raised our parents great. We did not have all of these issues. The whole problem is the now parents. They are too busy trying to make money to raise their own children, no boundaries, no faith, no morals. Kids are left to monitor themselves. It's not rocket science.
omg diahreea again
Rrr
Thank you social media, woke teachers, activist school systems, and their defenders. Leave the kids alone. Family and medical support need to be bolstered and the kids need to be left out of the social and political battles.
Woke MSM + TikTok = ⚫
They were raised to have no egostrength!!
