BEST  PARAGRAPHS:
"The substantially greater numbers of girls seeking help in the U.S. appears to accord with the finding by the U.K. study that “the impact of the pandemic may have been greater in females,” since girls showed “greater depressive symptoms,” behavioral difficulties and “lower well being” post-pandemic.

Hospitals also saw significant spikes in visits from children and adolescents seeking help for mental health issues, with a 31% increase in 12- to 17-year-olds and a 24% increase for ages 5 to 11 seeking help from April to October 2020."
