We are told that healthy children should be vaccinated against Covid to benefit their mental health. If only our leaders had taken an interest in this before imposing school closures and wider lockdowns which have helped to bring about a more than 50% increase in the number of children going to A&E with serious mental health issues. The Telegraph has the story.
More than 2,243 children in England were referred for specialist mental health care from emergency departments in May this year, compared with just 1,428 in May 2019.
Experts say children have struggled with schools being closed and without face-to-face interaction with their peers.
Robert Halfon, the Conservative MP and the Chair of the Education Select Committee, called for schools to remain open to stave off a mental health “catastrophe”.
NHS data reveal that nearly 27,000 children are being prescribed antidepressants each month, up more than 8% from 2019. While most are teenagers, 25 a month are aged six or under, and more than 1,000 are aged seven to 11.
Waiting lists for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) have jumped by more than a third in some regions, according to NHS England Trusts.
The number of children admitted to acute wards with eating disorders more than doubled in the three months to June 2021, when compared with the same period in 2019.
Dr. Anna Conway Morris, a consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist, said the increase in A&E referrals “shows that the things that are likely to need CAMHS input, like eating disorders, or like more serious self-harm or suicidal thoughts, have increased”.
Paul Farmer, the Chief Executive of the mental health charity Mind, has written to the Health Secretary, Sajid Javid, calling for extra funding in order not to “betray the next generation”.
An NHS England spokesman said its mental health services were looking after record numbers of children “with over 420,000 treated since April last year”.

“An NHS England spokesman said…” is about as mendacious as the “Downing Street said..” lying and drivel.
Anyone who failed to see or understand that what has been done to schoolchildren (and older students) over the last 18 months might have serious mental consequences is stupid, wicked or something other than human. Every known and accepted good practice in raising, educating and nurturing young people has been dumped. Fear, uncertainty, lack of routine and all the other things inflicted on them are bound to cause harm, for some if not all.
A more concerning thing is that a generation might be brought up who thinks this sort of dealing with people is normal and acceptable. Kind of “mini-Chinese” (think about it, when you grow up in China, government locking and disappearing individuals is just business as usual; and there is already more than a billion of people brought up with such mindset).
The next generation is something that might not happen, the way things are going. We need to concentrate on the here and now.
I get your idea about NHS England and No 10,yes they are liars. But I fail to see what that has to do with A&E, it is neither an accident or emergency as mental problems take a long tome to treat.
Time is a luxury that we don’t have. We need to stop the Covid madness now, as that will stop more harm being done to children and the rest of us.
But if you can’t see your GP, you only have A&E as a source of medical help
It might be an emergency if that person has tried to self-harm or has behaved in a strange or disturbing manner, and as others have said, if you can’t get GP appointments the parents/carers/schools/police may have had no alternative.
How in the name of all that’s holy did this get a downtick??
Agreed, but it’s just possible someone was doing it on a phone or in rush, and downticked by mistake.
In the past when downticks were only seen when upticks were zero, we wouldn’t have known about it when there were a lot of upticks.
Just a theory.

“Politicians report concerns over mental health crisis in kids”
Meanwhile, in other news, arsonist laments recent spate of suspicious house fires.
If a parent did this social services would be involved faster than you can blink.
100% correct. A few years ago I took my daughter to Rome for 5 days during school term. When I got back, I had a letter warning me of a fine. They said just one day off can damage a child’s education and it means they have to play catch up. Now they can’t wait to shut the schools already! Well I’ll tell you this, the next time I take my daughter away during term time, I shall be bringing up the whole closing schools down for months!
All part of the globalists plan.
In order to produce a compliant slave population it is essential that the minds of children are effectively screwed. They have to be confused, fearful, bewildered and basically unable to think for themselves.
I should conclude that Johnson’s controllers are very pleased with his efforts to date in destroying the mental health of the nation’s children.
“Politicians concerned about mental health in children.”
Politicians have no right to talk about the mental health of children when THEY THEMSELVES have caused these problems, with their ruthlessly unethical campaign of fear, extremely damaging and cowardly lockdowns, and senseless destruction of children’s futures.
Sssht … the idea that political actors act politically instead of scientifically following the only objectively correct course is a thought crime and the authorities will catch up with you.
The justification to jab for the sake of children’s mental health is a mockery. They are mocking us.
It’s a tactic I observe very often in politics. When something is ridiculously screwed up, just blatantly mock the ones who have concerns while smiling into the camera and becoming even more ridiculous. For example, when asked about the extreme expenses for masks, the German health minister stated he regrets not spending more. I guess that’s how hardened criminals behave while prosecuted, a sort of brutal power show “I regret nothing, you mean nothing to me” stance.
I think it works because it’s a populist move which appeals to powerless supporters who secretly dream of being a tyrant and able to mock others just like “their” minister does (even if they are the ones being mocked). Heinrich Mann described this reaction as “wohliges Gruseln” (“being comfortably creeped out”) in his 1918 book “Der Untertan” (“Man of Straw”).
“Waiting lists for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) have jumped by more than a third “
… and this is incredibly serious, given the previous crisis of CAMHS provision – which any professional will be aware of.
I hope parents of children prescribed anti-depressants read the patient information leaflet. And that all adults prescribed them do so too.
All actions since Feb 20 have been highly skilled, knowing, fully intentional maximising of Pharma/IT’s profits.
Our good health is bad for Pharma’s profits.
Fear and restrictions inflicted on normal biochemistry and physiology destroy our health, escalating use of ALL Pharma’s products; jabs increase that use.
Anti-depressants are some of the riskiest of their products
Paul Farmer, the Chief Executive of the mental health charity Mind, has written to the Health Secretary, Sajid Javid, calling for extra funding in order not to “betray the next generation”.
Always, always with the “more funding”. The point is always missed. Every. Single. Time.
Mental health charity Mind has seen its income grow to its highest ever-level of £48.1m, according to recently published documents.
The charity’s annual report and accounts for the year to March 2018 show that its income rose by 6.8m, or 16.5 per cent, year on year.
This was mainly driven by a £5.2m increase in the charity’s income from donations and legacies, which amounted to £20.7m in 2017/18.
In an introduction to the charity’s accounts, Paul Farmer, the charity’s chief executive, and Ryan Campbell, chair, said they wanted the charity to grow further.
The charity’s staff costs overall rose from £940,000 to £1m, while its highest paid employee earned between £120,000 and £130,000.
I’d like to see Paul Farmer’s house and what kind of car he drives.
My own mental health has taken a battering and I am very concerned about some of my family members, especially my grandchildren, one of whom is getting counselling.
Even before the covid hysteria, they were already hurting people with a relentless onslaught of regulation, restriction and dumbing down that damages all of us little by little. A lot of people hardly notice because it is death by a thousand cuts (or boiling frog, if you prefer) but they are gradually rendered powerless and pathetic.
I’ve just been catching up on the state of play of two musical groups – one folk, one classical, l that I’ve been involved with.
Reading their rehearsal discussions and guidelines alerts me to the fact that this time of ‘less restrictions’ actually involves continuing mass psychosis that is self – sustaining. I quote one at anonymized length, because it is a fantastic illustration of this sociopathic illness.
I’m sure others will have come across similar.
One thing is for sure – the lessening of mask wearing is no indicator of overall return to sanity :

Is it any wonder that mental illness is on the rise?
This is not unexpected but it IS dreadful.
I would not cooperate with this tiresome nonsense.
At the Bodleian one is supposed to change the door sign on the toilets from ‘Vacant’ to ‘Occupied’. I never do. There is a one-way system. I ignore it. I don’t wear a face-nappy (I have never been challenged) and I don’t scan these pestilential QR codes. Never have and never will.
I’ve never actually seen anybody scan the Hitler code, anywhere. They must all wait until I’m not looking.
In a few months, groups like this will be scratching their heads wondering why their membership has plummeted! If I was a member of any voluntary group which carried on like that I’d just stop going. This sort of Covidian paranoia will drain any enjoyment out of any communal activity
Oh … I don’t participate any longer, have given up my role as librarian, and have made my reasons known. But I am afraid that the notion that this hysteria will collapse under its own weight of nonsense is too optimistic in my view.
People actually do believe in this stuff.
Mind you, despite all the covid bollox in writing, and all the theatre that goes with it, many people have just had enough now, they’re fed up to the back teeth, especially if they’ve had their jabs and were mislead into thinking it protected THEM! Many feel they have “played their part” for way too long now and they are starting to belatedly realise that daddy pig regime isn’t what they thought it was, epecially when it affects their numbers and profits and the “freedom” they were promised!. My experience is that most is now for “show” and to “act” like they’re still going along with it all, when in fact they’re not really taking much notice at all.
well it’s nice they made an exception for brass and wind when playing. Reminds me of that Welsh hoax about tenors…
Hard to believe the above was written by a human being.
Hard to believe a human being would go along with it.
The world’s first fully zombinated orchestra.
The point is, Annie that this isn’t exceptional. Beneath the welcome relaxation on public mask wearing lies this perpetuation of nonsense behind lots of doors.
What is also illustrative is the ponzi scheme nature of the impositions – because the orchestra use a building that belongs to a church, it then has to fulfil the requirements of the owners in order to do so.
Another aspect is that voluntary impositions are often driven by the most psychotic of the nervous nellies demanding ‘safety’ – where the obvious solution is for them to stay away until they regain sanity.
As I say – the view from outside the monkey cage is far from heartening, IMHO.
When you see that you wonder how anyone couldn’t see what a crazy statement that is, given the amount of breath that will be expelled when playing a brass instrument – surprised they aren’t required to put a sheet over the bell of the instrument…
You really couldn’t make this stuff up!
Edit – Just to clarify – I wasn’t suggesting they actually should cover the instrument, just highlighting how ridiculous wearing a muzzle at other times would be.
… but it’s just an extension of the absurdity of wearing a mask in pubs or restaurants when you get up.
Adherence to this sort of shit is like a kid walking around with ‘Kick Me – I’m an Idiot’ pinned to the back.
In amongst the horror and existential dread generated by the last 18 months, it is extremely fertile ground for satire, and satire is a wonderful way to snap people out of their cult-like cognitively dissonant trance state.
Yes in normal times this would be considered OCD.
You and many others.
The constant bombardment of absurdities under lockdown is an assault on the human mind and Matt Hancockwomble’s attack on children, warning them not to kill Granny, is one of the worst.
Especially bearing in mind what happened in care homes under his tenure!
It’s like being berated, constantly admonished, to not commit murder by Ted Bundy.
27000 kids ( at least ) on antidepressants! I mean seriously, WTF!
Mind you GP’s seem to be handing out antidepressants like Smarties these days.
Big Pharma is keen to push them too – they are very profitable, and frequently people get hooked on them for years.
They are safe and harmless. Just like the “vaccines”.
My teen’s mental health has never been stronger. Not bragging, just reporting this and noting that IMO it’s because I have carefully discussed with her (with hard data) since the very beginning what a bunch of horseshit the government and media have been serving up.
Shes not as much of a scepter as her dad (which is good) but she’s a lot wiser about the world around her now than when this bollocks all began.
*sceptic*
And my son who qualified as a mental health nurse a few years ago (fees paid at his own expense) who worked throughout the ‘NHS ‘clapping nonsense’ will be leaving the moment they make vaccination compulsorary for NHS workers.
For anyone who uses Facebook this video is very disturbing in respect of the trauma being imposed on children.

Parents too, many very sad stories recently. Our lives are being wrecked for financial gain by a few
“Rishi Sunak builds a £400,000 leisure complex with a gym, pool and ballet barre at his £2million Yorkshire mansion”

I know a number of classroom assistants and teachers who say that many children have been severely affected after this last 20 months or so. They’re unable to sit atill, comprehend the simplest requests, and they have become clingy and frightened. But hey, shove the jib into their arms, that’ll do it!
The psychological damage is immense. The referrals and prescriptions are only the tip of the iceberg.
Suprise,suprise given most Parents have colluded with ritual abuse in public places ie Schools masking and misinformation
The stab will make mental health worse, not better. It will divide children and make them subject to concerns about health that aren’t an issue for them. Children will I think divide into two groups: the submissive hypochondriacs and the free spirits.
Let’s thank the politicians for this catastrophic gift for which they are getting away with . The cabinet , the opposition , the lot .
With kids from 6 months old being the new targets for vaccines, expect immediate deaths of kids to increase and deaths as time passes to wipe out those who were not wiped out the first time around and add to that, adults as well:
Simply put Vaccines are intended “Kill Shots”:
Dangers of Booster Shots and COVID-19 ‘Vaccines’: Boosting Blood Clots and Leaky Vessels
New discoveries in the immunology of SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 vaccines
What happens inside your body after injection with gene-based COVID-19 vaccines? How does this new ‘vaccination’ technology differ from usual vaccination methods, and why is that dangerous?
In this document, we answer all those questions and more, based on the latest and best available science. We explain how several papers in 2021 significantly advanced our understanding of SARS-CoV-2 immunity, and therefore the science and safety of COVID-19 vaccines.
Unfortunately, as the COVID-19 vaccination programme has followed a policy of ‘vaccinate first – research later’, our understanding of SARS-CoV-2 immunity has only recently caught up with the rushed vaccination schedule.
Given that no clinical trials involved more than two injections of any vaccine, it is important that doctors and patients understand where the latest science leaves us in terms of how the vaccines interact with the immune system, and the implications for booster shots.
We explain here that booster shots are uniquely dangerous, in a way that is unprecedented in the history of vaccines. That is because repeatedly boosting the immune response will repeatedly boost the intensity of self-to-self attack.
Please take the time to read this important information, and share.
The findings are presented in summary form for those who would like an overview, followed by an explanation of the underlying immunology for those who wish to understand in more detail.

As The Romans used to say in the Amphitheater in Rome: “You who are about to die, we salute you”.
Thank you for highlighting this from doctors4covidethics….essential reading and sharing.
This is heartbreaking. What kind of a world are we living in. Please watch this funeral director’s utube video. Mr. John O’Looney, tells his viewers exactly what he has seen over the past 20 months. Not one child dead due to Covid, not one. Plenty of extremely important observations including the use of versed in nursing homes last year. For those who don’t know, versed is a short acting ANESTHETIC. Not something one is normally prescribed, EVER!!!!! The whistleblower on the use of this ANESTHTIC in nursing homes, is now dead. Please listen to Mr. O’Looney’s own words based on his experience as a funeral director over the past twenty months. He also anticipates, his life may be in danger for speaking out.
