Mental health problems in children rises



London, June 21 (IANS) Mental health problems of children and adolescents are on the rise and experts have warned that available services are ill equipped to cope with the crisis.

One in 10 children, aged one to 15, have a mental health problem and the most vulnerable are those from poorer backgrounds, children in care, asylum-seekers and those who have witnessed domestic violence, reported the online edition of BBC News.

The problems include depression, anxiety, self-harm, attention-deficit hyperactivity, eating and obsessive disorders, it said quoting a report from the British Medical Association Board of Science.

It is estimated that one percent of children and three percent of adolescents suffer depression in any one year. Self-harm is also on the increase with 11.2 percent of girls and 3.2 percent of boys committing an act of self-harm.

However, the figures suggest boys and girls tend to suffer from different problems. While girls tend to have more emotional disorders such as anorexia, boys have a higher prevalence of disorders like frequent and severe temper tantrums.

'With the majority of adults with mental illness able to trace their symptoms back to childhood, it is essential we act now to prevent a generation of children being blighted by mental ill health.' Avis Johns, an expert, said.
