This indicator shows the age-adjusted emergency room visit rate due to mental health per 10,000 population under 18 years. Cases include adjustment disorders; anxiety disorders; attention deficit conduct and disruptive behavior disorders; delirium, dementia, amnestic and other cognitive disorders; disorders usually diagnosed in infancy, childhood, or adolescence; mood disorders; personality disorders; schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders; and impulse control disorders not elsewhere classified.
Why is this important?
Psychological distress can affect all aspects of our lives. It is important to recognize and address potential psychological issues before they become critical. Occasional down days are normal, but persistent problems should be evaluated and treated by a qualified professional; proper management of mental/emotional health problems can prevent psychological crises warranting hospitalization. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, treatment for mental disorders is a major cause of hospitalization for children and adolescents between the ages of 10 and 21 years.
