A Center for Disease Control report published Monday showed increased suicidal thoughts among high school aged girls and poor mental health over all.
Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel reacts to the CDC's report on mental health in teens on 'Special Report.'
Overall in 2021, 42 percent of high school students reported experiencing persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness, 22 percent said they seriously considered attempting suicide, 18 percent said they had made a plan to commit suicide and 10 percent said they attempted suicide, all increases from 10 years ago.
"As we saw in the 10 years prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, mental health among students overall continues to worsen, with more than 40% of high school students feeling so sad or hopeless that they could not engage in their regular activities for at least two weeks during the previous year - a possible indication of the experience of depressive symptoms.
The study also showed that while sexual activity declined among high school students between 2011 and 2021, fewer of the adolescents who are having sex are taking protective measures such as using condoms or HIV testing.
