We didn’t have all these mental issues in my day when kids played outside, rode bikes and didn’t have cellphones or social media.
Weird.
Weird.

Triage and refer to psychiatrist.
Mental and behavioral problems are not emergencies, unless there is some violence associated and then they should be locked up.
Done.
Next problem?

I’ve seen plenty parents “coach” their kids to say certain things to get PEC’d. That happens enough and the parents start getting a government check

As someone who has been acutely suicidal in the past, that is a very misguided understanding of what it’s like.

I work in a school now and the number of students with emotional disturbances and other mental health needs who also claim to be transgender is astounding. There needs to be a study so we can prove that it’s a mental health/attention seeking issue and not a sexuality/gender issue.

We give kids meth.

There have been times where I just wanted to die. I never had the “courage” to kill myself. With a lot of psychiatric care over the years, I’ve been able to live a relatively productive life. I’m glad no one dismissed me as a lost cause and just let me impulsively end my life.

These 911 calls happen nonstop.
Fire, EMS and ER’s are all being used for mental illness. Simple anxiety attacks, that no one in that group can address long term. First responders can’t do a thing, and the ER will give you one, at the most, Xanax. Most ER doctors aren’t writing you a script, so you just cost the city thousands of dollars in resources and built quite the bill for yourself.
More people need to address their mental illness through their healthcare provider, getting proper and long term care. It’s definitely an epidemic in this country.
It really doesn’t surprise me that it’s getting worse with the direction the world has going in.

How can we help these kids when we need to send our resources and F-15s to Ukraine.

Nailed it.
Kids are being poisoned from an early age.

I can relate. My now 16 yo daughter was in residential care for nearly 2 years. Covid isolation, puberty, led her to 6 hospital stays prior to finally being admitted. Suicide attempts, attacks on my wife, were common. She is now in another foster home and has ran away twice, so who knows. Psychiatrist solution is to throw more drugs at her. The system is definitely broken. And I mean badly. DFS now wants to sue us for failing to come and pick her up. Not happening. We hired a lawyer to lead the way. I will take whatever charges they throw at me to protect my family. She has threatened to kill us more than once. She was adopted at 3, and bio mom was a mess also. DNA is a strong drug.

Kids need a mother and father in their lives. A healthy balance of tough love and affection. Too much of either makes for messed up adults.

It will not get better. This is the tip of the iceberg.
It will get worse for the next 20 years before anyone will try to act like they want to fix it.
Insurance companies won’t pay for mental health care except for 10 minutes visits and changes in pills.
Parents won’t commit the time and energy to get their kids help (with some exceptions)
Medical schools won’t enlarge medical school classes.
Residencies won’t enlarge psychiatric residency slots.
Residencies and fellowships will not teach the finer points of psychotherapy and interpretation.
This is as good as it will get in our lifetime - guaranteed.

The AMA is partly responsible for this. Those rotten bastards have pushed progressive left politics for the last decade. I have friends that are physicians that have oddly developed wildly different world views after residency.

The “everyone is special and amazing just for existing” Generation continues to introduce itself. It will be the death of our great union.

Last part is key. Also social media will be the end of our ride at the top.
Cue the China black guy behind tree Mene.

An ER doc shouldn’t have to deal with this. Suicidal? Straight to the mental ward.
