Depression is on the rise across the United States, especially among adolescents and women, according to new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), yet fewer than half of those affected are receiving therapy or counseling. The findings, published on April 16, 2025, offer the most up-to-date look at how the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing societal challenges have intensified mental health struggles, while also exposing persistent gaps in access to mental health care and continued disparities by gender, age, and socioeconomic status (CNN).

Strengthening Support for Teens: Thailand Faces Alarming Adolescent Mental Health Trends

news mental health

A new study highlights a troubling gap in help-seeking among teens facing mental health crises. Amid mounting academic, social, and personal pressures, many adolescents remain silent rather than reaching out for support, raising concerns about long-term well-being.

In the United States, a large survey of 17,000 high school students found that 42% reported symptoms of clinical depression. Among girls and LGBTQ+ youth, the figures are notably higher: 57% of girls and 69% of LGBTQ+ teens reported feeling depressed. Disturbingly, about one in three girls and one in two LGBTQ+ youths said they had considered suicide over the past year. Research by respected institutions underscores the urgency of these numbers and the need for accessible, stigma-free help.
