    Health Nerd Retweeted Jeremy Faust MD MS (ER physician)

    In the United States, closing schools was strongly associated with REDUCED suicide attempts in teens "The most likely scenario is that suicidality is simply too complex a phenomenon to neatly align with any one particular policy or explanation"https://twitter.com/jeremyfaust/status/1419777382131527693 …

    Did school closures actually *protect* teens most at the highest risk of suicidal behavior? Read, check out the comments (including by @AdamMGrant), and add your own thoughts. 👇👇👇 https://insidemedicine.bulletin.com/2977384169199489 …

        This may mean that school itself is a driver of suicidal behavior in teens, which honestly does not seem overly far-fetched

        Obviously, it is impossible to know if this is in any way causal, but it is a strong counter to the narrative that school closures have caused teen suicides to skyrocket

        Wow the weaponising of mental health to refute lockdowns has been really disturbing. Especially when compared to the loss of a family member or being classed as vulnerable.

        I wonder how much extra sleep teenagers got during the pandemic. Extra sleep is great all around.

        I have long thought that teenagers would have improved educational outcomes and mental health if we started high schools at 930am rather than 730am. But the hours are for the convenience of parents and for after school sports.

        Completely unsurprising considering the school environment is somewhere teens have less choice in who they come into contact/interact with, and fairly rife with bullying irrespective of socioeconomic status or country.

        @tylerblack32 is bit of an authority on suicides. Maybe he can add his 2 cents worth as he has collated the data . 🤔

        Mmmm... this is way too complex to irrationally reduce to one variable without evidence.

        But that's what has been done - very loudly - by anti-lockdown campaigners.
