Even before the pandemic, the rates of children reporting emotional distress were rising, with more than 1 in 3 U.S. high school students in 2019 reporting they had experienced persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness in the past year, a 40 percent increase from a decade earlier, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
