Mental health admissions to medical wards: 65% increase in a decade for young

i imagine its because of increased awareness atleast in part. within the last 10-20 years i feel like people have become much more aware with ad campaigns talking about it etc

Too many Undiagnosed Personality Disorders under guise of “anxiety”. Young folk getting into cycles of bad habits and behaviours and then cannot cope when it goes wrong and threaten to harm or top themselves. And end up eating into resources needed for the mentally ill. I experienced it creeping up in my time as a nurse, and currently as a patient (both in and outpatient).
