Santé mentale des enfants français en 2024 : un état d'urgence

"We must save the future of French children!" A red alert has been issued: the mental health of young French people is in danger. In 2024, the mental health of French children is a growing concern. According to a recent study, approximately 20% of children in France suffer from psychological disorders, a figure that has been steadily increasing in recent years. According to UNICEF, 1 in 6 children in France experiences significant emotional, behavioral, relational, and attentional difficulties. Specialists are observing an increase in consultations with child psychiatrists and requests for psychological support. Faced with this alarming situation, it is imperative to implement appropriate measures to support and protect the mental health of children who suffer in silence and lack access to the help they need. The consequences for children's development can be serious: anxiety disorders, depression, suicidal thoughts, etc. It is urgent to take action to improve the mental health of French children and offer them a secure future. Our guests are Dr. Denis Mathieu, psychiatrist and advisor to VYV, and Professor Amine Benyamina, head of the psychiatry and addiction department at Paul-Brousse Hospital in Paris.
