Key Points

• Among adults and children aged 11 and older:

  • The monthly number of emergency room visits for mental health issues or suicidal thoughts has been higher since early 2022 than in previous years. This increase may reflect improved access to care for mental health issues following major awareness campaigns and initiatives encouraging people to seek help.

• All ages:

  • The proportion of cases involving transient psychotic disorders increased in April and May 2022 but remains at a level generally equivalent to that typically recorded in April in previous years.
