We must stop this flood towards psychiatry: government allocates one billion kroner to fight waiting times in child and youth psychiatry

So: the government is stepping up with a billion kroner to tackle the growing waiting times in child and youth psychiatry. For years, more young people have been seeking help, but the system has struggled to keep up, with only one in five getting assessed within the legal 30 days last year. Health Minister Ida Auken has made a deal with regions and municipalities to reduce these delays and hopes this will even lower the number of diagnoses needed. And here's the thing - this plan aims not just to manage the flood but to turn the tide for better mental health support.
