Mental health conditions in children are widely under-reported, according to a new nationwide study.
00:06
Researchers revealed their results on Wednesday to coincide with World Infant, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Day.
00:12
Around half of the roughly 10,000 children involved in the study were diagnosed by professionals.
00:17
The findings suggest a much higher incidence of mental health issues than public health records show.
00:23
For instance, around 20% of the children in the study had an anxiety disorder.
00:28
Health insurance data shows fewer than 1% of the population has this condition.
00:44
The study found that the rate of children seeking treatment for mental health issues was also very low.
