FAIRMONT â According to the National Institute of Mental Health, one in five adults in the U.S. live with a mental illness, and nearly 50 percent of adolescents have a mental health disorder.
The coronavirus pandemic has extrapolated mental health problems in adolescents because most throughout the country do not have a safe haven such as school, sports, activities or events to escape into when feeling bad.
âWe have also seen an increase in hospitalizations of our youth in that same age range,â said Ashley Hart, account manager for education technology company EverFi, which is based in Washington, D.C. âThey have actually increased by 31 percent in March through October of 2020 in the same months of 2019.â
