Around 8.3 million young people between the ages of 12 and 17 received counseling, medication, or another form of mental health therapy in 2023, according to a report by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
This is equivalent to nearly one-third of the adolescents in the U.S. undergoing treatment for mental health issues, according to the findings released from SAMHSA’s National Survey on Drug Use and Health.
