The real crisis

Politicians have blood on their hands.


Number of youth in hospital after suicide attempt tripled over 4-month period under COVID-19


Referrals to Eating Disorders Program increased by 90% in 4-month period, McMaster Children’s Hospital says


McMaster Children's Hospital says it has seen a steady increase of youth in crisis since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
According to the hospital, youth admitted for medical support after a suicide attempt has tripled over a four-month period, compared to last year. The hospital also said that patients are staying in hospital longer due to more serious attempts.
McMaster Children's Hospital says a large number of these youth have reported COVID-related issues such as lack of social interaction, increased conflict at home, and the inability to rely on friends as main contributors.
"We are all coping with multiple stressors brought on by the current pandemic," says Dr. Paulo Pires, psychologist and clinical director of Child & Youth Mental Health Outpatient Services.
"We must be attentive to the unique impact of these stressors on children and youth depending on their stage of development."


The hospital said that over the same time period, youth admitted with substance use disorders has doubled compared to last year, the hospital says. In particular, the use of potentially deadly opioids has increased.
The number of cases admitted to hospital with predominant symptoms of psychosis has doubled, with the large majority related to substance use.

Oh we can forget about all the other crisis

Only covid 19 now .


Was reading today I believe it's the UK.
Hospital and medical procedures have been delayed so much there have been people waiting for a year without Cancer treatments.


It's created a 5 year back log we won't be far behind them cancelling other medical needs to treat covid.

We shouldn't be ignoring many of things that we have been.

What does all this say about our modern society - people committing - suicide because things are a little difficult - what are they going to do when things really get rough - like no food, no gas, no healthcare etc. - compared to the way people had to live in the 1800's a little inconvenience is nothing

You got that right! The America's are a soft people now. Sissification might be used to describe it. People don't know what a real problem is let alone handle one.

Yeah they are a terrible source and it likely means the numbers are much higher.

I totally agree with you Joe. Personally, I could give a rats behind about this nonsense. Its bad enough the CBC putting this crap out and it gets even more silly to suggest the politicians have blood on their hands. Time to grow some!

Covid didn't kill these folks THE GOVERNMENT DID but they are counted as covid deaths, I guess as a matter of convenience and deflection.
