Why This Indicator Matters
Children's mental health affects how they socialize, how they learn, and how well they meet their potential. Mental health is important at every stage in life. Promoting the well-being of children includes both physical and mental health, so receiving treatment for diagnosed mental and behavioral conditions is as important as seeking treatment for a physical illness.
