ER visits for children who had thoughts of suicide or had attempted suicide have doubled in the past decade. This is according to a nationally representative study released Monday, April 8, 2019. From 2007 to 2015 annual visits for suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts among children age 5 to 18 nearly doubled. Approximately 43% of visits for suicidal thoughts or attempts were among children between the ages of 5 and 12, says HuffPost. The study's lead author, Dr. Brett Burstein, said, “This trend is likely accelerating."
