More than 9,000 youngsters were on waiting lists for mental health services over a three-month period.
The new figures show 9,672 children and young people were referred to CAMHS in Scotland between January and March 2022, compared to 10,021 for the previous quarter, and 7,902 for the same period in 2021.
He said he thought the government would "push a bit harder for the waiting times to be cut down" if they realised how much teenagers were suffering with mental health problems., which provided "amazing" therapy. "Most charities that do the same stuff that we do have been started by parents or families that are grieving the loss of somebody," she said."If you don't support them, then the only the thing that they've got, really, is to believe what they are thinking or experiencing and take their lives.
It has helped more than 100 children in Falkirk since it was formed in 2021, many of them while they wait to be seen by designated mental health practitioners. Mr Stewart added: "We have also provided an additional £15m to local authorities to deliver locally-based mental health and wellbeing support for five to 24-year-olds in their communities, providing alternative support options and ensured access to counselling support services in all secondary schools.", a group of private providers of specialist children's services, has warned of a mental health emergency for young people.
Years of Covid restrictions and disrupted schooling are likely to be a big part of why we're seeing such rises in the number being referred.
