CDC:美国青少年心理健康状况改善

Mental Health Among Teenagers Is Improving, C.D.C. Finds

内容导读

美国CDC发布的新数据显示,全美高中生心理健康状况较2021年低谷明显改善。2025年调查中,33%的学生报告过去12个月持续感到悲伤或绝望,低于2021年峰值42%;14%报告认真考虑过自杀,低于2021年的22%。但许多青少年,尤其是女孩和自认女同性恋、男同性恋或双性恋的青少年,仍面临困难。

After hitting its lowest levels in a decade in 2021, teenage mental health is showing significant improvements, according to new data released Monday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Continuing a trend first observed in 2023, teenagers surveyed at high schools across the country in 2025 reported improvements in several key measures, including persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness, serious thoughts of suicide and attempting suicide in the last year.

But the data show that many teenagers, especially girls and teenagers who identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual, are still struggling. Thirty-three percent of high school students reported persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness in the last 12 months, down from a peak of 42 percent in 2021. Fourteen percent of teenagers reported that they had seriously considered attempting suicide, down from 22 percent in 2021.

“Those declines in depression and suicidal thoughts are very striking, particularly that they’re lower than 2019,” said Jean Twenge, a psychologist at San Diego State University who has studied the mental health impacts of smartphones and social media use on teenagers. “This isn’t just post pandemic anymore, this is a more longstanding trend in improvement.”
