#TeenMentalHealth Report Day 1: The things that are wrecking teenager's heads

In a special report, Claire O’Sullivan looks at teen mental health. A special Irish Examiner / ReachOut Ireland teen mental health survey was designed to capture the views of teenagers in Ireland in relation to youth mental health and the issues that affect them.

Two thirds of teenagers rate their mental health as bad

• 34% of 2,500 teens reported ‘good’ or ‘very good’ mental health
• 62% say their mental health is ‘average’, ‘poor’, or ‘very poor’
