Despite rates of poor #mentalhealth and #suicide recovering since the outbreak of #COVID19, Ireland is seeing an increase in the number of young people repeatedly self harm.

Rates of most distress measures peaked during the COVID years (2020-21). The proportion of teens repetitively self-harming did not return to pre-COVID levels, unlike other measures of distress.
A group of young people with lived experience of mental health challenges helped to interpret these results and unpick some possible reasons for them
Two groups showed particularly high levels of psychological distress: (1) those identifying as transgender/gender-diverse & (2) those in Youthreach or Further Education and Training centres ("early school leavers")
Our new study on the prevalence of psychological distress among adolescents in Ireland is out.
We looked at anonymous surveys from over 20,000 adolescents across Ireland and explored at how rates of poor mental health, repetitive self-harm and suicide attempt were changing. Read more below! ⤵️

A special thank you to all E-Risk participants and the @eriskstudy.bsky.social team for making this research possible.
Co-authors: Flora Blangis, @niamhdooley.bsky.social =, Helen Fisher, Tim Matthews, and @candiceodgers.bsky.social
Implications:
➡️ When a young person reports being bullied online, it’s important to look beyond the screen.
➡️To impact young people's mental health, we need to consider offline and online challenges + provide early support for anxiety + shape policies around social media use.
We found:
2️⃣ Cybervictimisation was linked to a range of #mentalhealth conditions, but anxiety disorder was the only one independently associated after accounting for family background and offline forms of victimisation.
