'The severity of childhood mental health conditions had already been escalating with social media, but the combination of that with the pandemic has literally made this a lethal combination.'
SAN FRANCISCO -- During this Mental Health Awareness Month, it's important that we recognize the struggles we have all faced the past few years. Now, prominent figures are coming together to break the stigma so the mental healing for everyone can begin.And over the last few years, we've all been through a lot, especially kids. It has left parents feeling helpless at times.
"Watching your kids go through any difficulties are really hard on parents," Andrea Burnett said."Our job is to keep our kids safe, and fed and loved."So every May, experts use Mental Health Awareness Month to share the sometimes life saving message: it's okay to not be okay. "Kids with anxiety or mood or attentional disorders do get better with treatment," Child Mind Institute Clinical Psychologist Dr. Dave Anderson said. It's just what we know from the research is commonly that there's so much stigma, adults may wait years from the time they know there could be something that could be going on with their child, to the time they seek help."
