Despite the high rates of mental disorder in adolescents and young adults, treatment utilisation is low. Using Australian longitudinal administrative and survey data, we show an increasing proportion of young people are accessing nervous system scripts as they age. Younger cohorts have increasingly accessed these scripts earlier; usage is generally higher among disadvantaged groups and in regions with better mental health service access. Less than half of all young adults facing very high psychological distress in 2018 had recently accessed mental health care. Instead of professional help, young people turn to friends and family for help with personal and emotional problems.

儿童和青年人心理健康和医疗保健使用的动态

尽管在青少年和年轻人中精神疾病的发生率很高，但是治疗的利用率很低。使用澳大利亚的纵向行政和调查数据，我们显示，随着年龄的增长，越来越多的年轻人正在使用神经系统脚本。年轻的人群越来越早地访问了这些脚本。在处境不利的群体中以及在获得更好的精神卫生服务的地区，此类药物的使用率通常较高。在2018年面临极高心理困扰的所有年轻人中，只有不到一半的人最近获得了精神保健服务。年轻人代替专业帮助，而是转向朋友和家人寻求有关个人和情感问题的帮助。
