"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.
