This new study is alarming and so sad. The amount of suicide-related visits to the E.R. by kids between the ages of 5 to 18 has nearly doubled between 2007 and 2015. About half of the visits involve children over 13 years of age. The lead researcher in the study said, this is an alarming trend and he attributes the trend to more stress and depression among kids. I didn't see any mention of social media in this report, but I would think that it might be another factor.
