....From April through October, the proportion of mental health visits to pediatric emergency departments jumped 24% for kids ages 5-11 and 31% for kids 12-17, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“We’re already seeing that children’s mental health is impacted in the short term. Likely there will be long-term consequences as well,” said Nirmita Panchal, who has studied the issue as a senior policy analyst at the Kaiser Family Foundation. “What early research and data is showing that lack of socialization has been pretty critical.”

I am really surprised that Cleveland.com would print this considering how much their reporters whine to DeWine at his press conferences that he isn't shutting down the state enough.

I'd like to think that ad revenue from local businesses that are not in business anymore is drying up and make editors think about having reporters do actual reporting.

Of course, the mental health crisis caused by the overreaction to the ‘dread virus rona is just one more crisis for government to talk up and for the SES to devise policies to solve, but you would think at a certain point private medical insurance companies would behind the scenes lobby for an end to the overreaction because they are paying out so much more for psychiatric services.

Liberals do not care about children. They murder them, they abuse, them, they ignore them, they fail to discipline them, they hate children.

Everyone’s mental health is being affected.

This is despotic brainwashing/conditioning

Thanks. You just reminded me to post this quote from our own Livius:

But all the “public service” ad pitches for masks, isolation, etc. are that if somebody else gets “the virus,” it’s your fault. Children particularly are made to feel like radioactive waste, and to regard everybody else - especially all other children - as equal threats. They will indeed have a sense of diminished self-worth all of their lives. Especially for breaking out and doing normal kid things like laughing, jumping around - in other words, innocent fun and human expression. That won’t permitted in our future Marxist paradise.

China’s plan to completely destroy the United States is tracking well. We are only seeing the tip of the iceberg of the long term damage being done. Our kids are already messed up from progressives.

I weep.

The “mental health crisis” is fake. It’s a hoax.
