Suicide attempts by children under the age of 14 in Spain have increased by 22% annually
Paediatric emergency services have warned of a significant increase in child mental health problems, and in some hospitals these cases have doubled in less than a decade.
Paediatric emergency specialists gathered in Bilbao have pointed out that suicide attempts in children under 14 are increasing at a rate of 22% annually, and that mental health problems in children and adolescents are steadily increasing.
Consultations related to aggressiveness have increased by 13% per year and those related to anxiety by 9%. Overall, demand for paediatric emergency care has increased by 10% per year.
Experts say there is a "state of alert" in paediatric emergencies and the pattern ofinfant disease is changing "quietly." In some hospitals, psychiatric pathology consultations have doubled in less than 10 years.
Although these cases account for about 1% of emergency activity, specialists stress that they require more time, resources and coordination for proper care.
This data has been discussed at the XXX Annual Meeting of the Spanish Paediatric Emergency Association (SEUP), which is held in Bilbao until Saturday and brings together more than 1,000 professionals and about 700 scientific papers on child health and emergency care.
