Mental Health America: Annual State of Mental Health in America Report Key Findings 2024 included several about our nation's youth. 13% of youth ages 12-17 reported experiencing serious thoughts of suicide. The percentage of youth reporting suicidal ideation was highest among youth who identified as Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander (25%) and more than one race (20%). 1 in 5 youth had at least one major depressive episode (MDE) in the past year.
