Atlanta (US) – In 2021, every third female student in the US had suicidal thoughts. It is a great rise after the year 2019, observed by the US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention.
In the survey of 2021, 60% of girls appear to be depressed or sad. This was the highest number in a decade; this was not due to the Coronavirus. Depression is on the rise in the last decade.
