MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and as part of that Dr. Stephanie Eken, Chief Medical Officer at Rogers Behavioral Health, joined us on Thursday, May 18 to discuss a February CDC report showing escalating teen mental health issues.
The data indicates nearly 60% of teenage girls experienced consistent sadness throughout 2021, a rate double that of boys, with one in three considering suicide.
Dr. Eken also discussed the rates of suicidal ideation, depression and violence within the LGBT+ youth population, with over one-fifth reporting suicide attempts in the preceding year.
