(Washington, DC) — A new report says close to a third of U.S. teens got treatment for their mental health last year. That’s from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. It found that nearly 32-percent of adolescents 12 to 17 got mental health treatment, or over eight-million people nationwide. That’s up from just under 30-percent in 2022. The most common type was outpatient treatment, including seeing a therapist or school counselor.
