Abstract:
Despite low rates of Covid-19 infection and mortality, children and adolescents have experienced disproportionate restrictions on their personal, social and academic life. Among youth in Ireland, reports of increased attendances by primary care counselling services have been mirrored by increased presentations to emergency departments and specialist mental health services, most notably self-harm and eating disorders. Following an immediate post lock down reduction, emergency department presentations by children for acute mental health care and referrals to child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) showed a sustained increase throughout 2020. Urgent action is needed to invest in CAMHS post pandemic to prevent any further increase in psychiatric illness among youth. We all share this collective responsibility to insist of government commitment to our youth.
