 Growing scientific evidence points to a critical issue impacting younger generations. Nationwide, more children and teens are reporting symptoms of anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 40% of high schoolers reported experiencing depressive symptoms in 2023 — up from 30% just 10 years earlier.

On this week's episode of "Straight Talk," three experts who are working to get ahead of the curve came together to talk about what's driving the trend, what researchers say can be done to help, and what kids are saying they need.
