New data from the Department of Health and Human Services reveals encouraging trends in youth mental health and substance use—fewer teens are vaping, drinking, or using illicit drugs, and major depressive episodes and suicide attempts are down. Young adults are seeing similar improvements, but the bigger picture remains grim: nearly 45 million people still live with substance use disorder, and over 80% of those who needed treatment last year didn’t get it. While progress is real, especially among younger generations, the treatment gap and systemic barriers mean the battle against addiction is far from won.
