The year after Lockdown and school closures, a peak saw in children who tried to kill themselves or harm, shocking figures unveiled.
Hospital admissions for suicide attempts rose by a quarter in 2021 by a quarter in 2021, according to new statistics from NHS England digitally through the mail on Sunday.
The increase in the number of 18-year-olds who try to kill themselves in just a year or seriously harm more than 20,000 (20,428) to more than 25,000 (25,515) also marked the highest figures, because comparable records started in 2000.
Tragically enough, Lockdown also saw the highest percentage ever in a decade for suicides for children and teenager, who increased by more than half from 150 in 2011 to 229 suicides of less than 19s in 2021.
Among them was Christopher Note, 19, of Essex, who died in July 2020 after a series of suicide attempts.
He was admitted to the hospital for the first time after he had tried to take his life in April of that year, an attempt that his mother, Julia Hopper, says he was directly connected to the Lockdown.
Before that period she says he has a Happy-Go-lucky, gentle, polite, fun, fun and the girls all kept. He made sure he understood what it was like to struggle. He was very active and social '.
When the lockdown was put into operation, Christopher, who was autistic, was “very worried – more worries than a normal person,” said Mrs. Hopper.

The Covid Lockdown left Christopher 'Absolutely terrified' that he could not go to see his friends
Christopher's mother also claims that he was “discharged out of the hospital prematurely and dangerous while he fought with suicide thoughts
She added: 'The fact that Christopher could not see his friends because of the lockdowns, made him absolutely terrified. We couldn't even walk.
“These factors were crucial for the safety of Christopher and they were just deleted. The doctors knew that Christopher had to stay in the hospital and they continued to discharge him. '
On an occasion he was missing after he intended to kill himself, but was picked up by the police and taken to the hospital.
Mrs Hopper said it was more difficult for him to recover because she could not visit him in the mental health department because of Covid restrictions.
She also claimed that he was 'fired out of the hospital prematurely and dangerous' in what she thinks was a movement to make room for patients with the virus.
After further suicide attempts, he tragically took his own life.
Other figures from this period reveal that a stunning 150,000 children were admitted to the hospital in the last seven years until the end of March 2024 after a suicide attempt or a serious incident of self -harm.

Charity Youngminds told the post on Sunday that more than 2,000 children had tried to take their own lives awaiting specialist treatment.
“These figures are incredibly disturbing and emphasize the urgent need for the government to act,” said spokesman Olly Parker.
'The reasons why a young person can feel suicide or self -damage are complex.
“Many young people experience multiple pressure that influence their mental health, including poverty, the online world and intense academic pressure, which the pandemic has contributed to this through years of lost learning, so it is no wonder that so many people are struggling.”
