"The Priory Group recently commissioned independent research among 1,000 young people aged 12 – 19 nationwide to understand their attitudes and behaviours toward a wide range of issues ranging from schoolwork and relationships to sex, drugs, suicidal ideation and self-harm. The results confirm what the medical profession has known for years: an unacceptably high proportion of British youngsters suffer from a wide range of mental health issues that adversely affect family life, friendships, development and academic achievement. Priory's research also reveals that young people today are experimenting with sex, alcohol and drugs, dealing with violence in the home and in relationships and contemplating suicide at ever-decreasing ages, fuelling a mental health crisis in this vulnerable population."
