The number of 11 to 15-year-olds in contact with services also increased, from 359,681 in 2020/21 to 498,558 to 2021/22 - a 39% rise.Olly Parker, head of external affairs at YoungMinds, said:"These figures demonstrate the unprecedented crisis happening in young people's mental health, with almost one in five 16-year-olds across the country in contact with mental health services. The situation is unsustainable.
"We know young women in particular face a wide range of pressures that may affect their mental health - from school stress to difficult relationships with family or friends and problems and concerns about body image often exacerbated by social media.
