Kids Today
Five-Year Trends in US Children’s Health and Well-being, 2016-2020, JAMA, 3/14/22
 Even before the pandemic, anxiety and depression were becoming more common among children
and adolescents, increasing 27 percent and 24 percent respectively from 2016 to 2019. By
2020, 5.6 million kids (9.2%) had been diagnosed with anxiety problems and 2.4 million (4.0%) had
been diagnosed with depression.
 About 5 million kids also experienced behavior and conduct problems in 2020, a 21 percent
increase from the previous year. 1
One national survey found that half of the teenagers were experiencing anxiety, trouble concentrating,
and social isolation/loneliness during remote learning. Also in the survey, 31% of parents reported
their child’s emotional health was worse than before the pandemic. 2
Interestingly, parents were more likely to notice new or worsening symptoms of depression and anxiety in
teen girls. In July/August 2020, the number of girls admitted to the ED for suspected suicide attempts
had increased 26.2% over a year prior. 4 In February/March 2021, this rate was now 50.6% higher. 3
By fall 2021, the prevalence of depression and anxiety in children and adolescents around the world had
doubled from pre-pandemic levels to 25.2% and 20.5%, respectively. 4
