One of my wife's good friends is a paediatric nurse and has been for 30 years. We were talking about this last time she stayed.
She said when she started working the children's wards were full of physically sick children but now a large percentage of her patients are self-harm/eating disorder/attempted suicide patients. She is adamant that social media is the main contributing factor for the shift.
Absolutely tragic.
