Youth mental health - what's going on? Nearly one in four young women has some form of mental illness, a new NHS report has found. LGBT teens are also much more at risk.
The findings are based on a survey of more than 9,000 young people in England, the first update of the report in 13 years.
Overall, among children aged five to 15, one in nine had a mental health disorder, up from one in 10 in the previous study. BBC News
