Why is girls’ mental health declining, and what is being done about it?

Research conducted for the Department for Education (DfE) has revealed that the mental health of teenage girls in the UK has worsened in recent years.

The research which compared the experiences and attitudes of teenagers in 2014 with those in 2005, found an increase in “psychological distress” and 37 per cent of girls feeling unhappy, worthless, or unable to concentrate.
