Kids’ Mental Health Spending Soared 26% During Pandemic—Led By ADHD And Anxiety

I just read this article about how mental health spending for kids has soared during the pandemic, particularly for issues such as ADHD and anxiety. It’s heartbreaking to think about the mental health struggles that children are facing right now, and I’m glad that there is an increased focus on providing resources to help them. This is an area of healthcare that has been long overlooked, and it’s encouraging to see that parents and healthcare providers are taking it seriously. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and I’m glad that there is now more awareness about the issues that kids are facing.

It’s great to see that there is an increased focus on kids’ mental health during this time. As a parent, it has been so important for me to pay attention to my kids’ emotional wellbeing and provide them with resources that they need to help them manage their mental health. However, I know that not all parents or healthcare providers may be as aware of the importance of addressing kids’ mental health needs. That’s why it was encouraging to read this article about how mental health spending for kids has soared during the pandemic – it is a step in the right direction in terms of increasing access to resources and providing these children with support and care.
