A ‘complete shift’ in the way Ireland operates its mental health services is needed, say psychiatrists

“Despite all the awareness campaigns and all the ‘wellbeing’ kind of education, the rates of moderate to severe mental health conditions, the rates of self-harm and suicidal ideation, are not going down,” Dr Hill said. “They are going up.”

“It’s going up and up ... You go into the wards, a high proportion of the beds will be taken up with young people who’ve had suicide attempts or have psychiatric issues. Dr Cannon said a lot of the young people who present at emergency departments will need admission to a mental health bed, which is an issue.

“You still need inpatient beds for serious mental health conditions,” she said. “The numbers are going down all the time, taking no account of the fact that levels of mental health problems [among young people] are rising.” “What we want to do is educate the next stage of psychiatrists to come through about that particular age group, and we also want to influence the funding goals,” Dr Hill said.

In America we are experiencing the same with our children Teens. It’s from the lockdowns and being on a computer for the last two years. The world is a much more scarier place now.

The madness of FFGG lockdown and enforced vaccine policies are coming home to roost 😡

The Irish Times. The filthy pseudojournalists that supported the torture of children during lockdowns, with masks, closing schools in exchange for money. The people responsible for all this. They will eventually pay the price and disappear.

LeoVaradkar MichealMartinTD Mental health of our young has to be a priority. We need more social outlets, more affordable activities, more government funded social programs and mental health services. We need real leadership on this!

This is purely the result of families losing their Christian faith. It's no coincidence that it comes as Ireland's media is trying egregiously to replace the Church as a false message of truth. The Irish media are harbingers of a culture of death and nothingness. Defund the Media

Phones. Internet. Bullying. Porn. Influencers. All solved by getting them off devices. So sick of being under pressure from MY kids, because other parents won’t do THEIR jobs. No child needs a smartphone in their lives. Unsupervised internet browsing should be illegal for u18’s

The scumbags in the political, media and medical fields are responsible for the relentless mental abuse the last few years

EU membership transformed life in Ireland over 50 yearsFifty years ago, on 1 January 1973, Ireland formally joined the European Economic Community, becoming an EU member has economically and socially transformed life on the island of Ireland, writes Gail Conway.
