Surge in psychiatric emergencies among youth

The increase in psychiatric emergencies among youth highlights the urgent need for mental health awareness. A study conducted over seven months by Cadabams Hospitals, a private mental health facility, reveals alarming trends, with the highest psychiatric admission rates among individuals aged 30-40 years (34.6%), followed closely by those aged 20-30 years (28.8%). Experts recommend promoting open dialogue, identifying early warning signs, and seeking professional support to address crises effectively. Schools and families play a critical role in creating safe spaces for expression and care. Proactive strategies, such as mindfulness and stress management techniques, can equip young people to handle emotional challenges and foster resilience.
