Adolescents aged fifteen to nineteen have an increasing trend in the diagnoses of mental illness disorders. Along with this, the suicide rates have increased within this age group. Our research dives into the effects of different cognitive behavior therapies and their role on treating children with mental health disorders. We compared these results to suicide rates in children who have no exposure to medicinal or therapy treatment.
