Abstract

It is no secret that rates of anxiety and depression among school-aged children and teens in the United States are at an all-time high. Recognizing this, the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and Children's Hospital Association issued, in 2021, a joint statement to the Biden administration that child and adolescent mental health be declared a "national emergency."
