Inpatient admission rate for mental health disorders per 100,000 registered population aged 0-17 years (17183) Metric type

- Inpatient admission rate for mental health disorders per 100,000 registered population aged 0-17 years.
One in ten children aged 5-16 years has a clinically diagnosable mental health problem and, of adults with long-term mental health problems, half will have experienced their first symptoms before the age of 14. Self-harming and substance abuse are known to be much more common in children and young people with mental health disorders – with ten per cent of 15-16 year olds having self-harmed. Failure to treat mental health disorders in children can have a devastating impact on their future, resulting in reduced job and life expectations.
