Mental health cut-off: Why sling me out of CAMHS at 18? Kirsty was being treated by Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) up until the age of 18.

She's one of 25,000 young people in England that make the move to adult mental health services every year.

NHS England says it plans to address the issue by extending young people's mental health care until the age of 25. BBC News
