Yep, I work in mental health. It’s worse now than before the pandemic for both adults and pediatrics. The difference is that resources for pediatric mental health have always been more scarce than adults so the increased demand for services combined with the Covid fallout is crushing the system and we are woefully unprepared to handle the problem. We don’t know how to fix it or help these kids with the current mental health funding. It’s disheartening and disconcerting and every one I know who is also working in the system feels the impact of it and is scared for what happens when it gets worse. Because it will get worse.
