Mental Health in Kingston

According to the NHS in Kingston, there will be an estimated 437 new cases of schizophrenia in 2017. This statistic alone shows that 3% of the town’s population has schizophrenia. As well, it is noted that one in 100 children aged between 10-15 years old has or will develop schizophrenia during their lifetime. The problem with this statistic is knowing how much weight should be put on it because “psychosis” may refer to other diseases or simply being high on drugs. Thus, the statistic does not give us a clear answer. Furthermore, in Kingston in 2017, there will be an estimated 195 new cases of depression.

This shows that 1% of children aged between 10-15 years old have or will develop depression during their lifetime according to the NHS in Kingston. The same goes for anxiety which is set to have 191 new cases diagnosed in 2017 in Kingston showing that 1% of children aged between 10-15 years old have or will develop anxiety during their lifetime. There are many reasons why statistics may differ from place to place but one major factor could be how accessible mental health services are or if they even exist. Unfortunately, Kingston does not appear to have its own official mental health statistics.
