An alwayson, flexible solution, that helps them at the moment of need is necessary.
With significant numbers of young people already using their phones to access support, Wysa believes that clinically validated resources should be made available on the devices, to support their mental health.
Of those surveyed, just 25 said they would speak to CAMHS services for help.
This leaves many more at the mercy of potentially inaccurate or unregulated content via social media content.
Supporting the need for a clinically validated and backed digital solution, Wysa found that 78 of teens said they would prefer to speak to an app, rather than their teachers.
New research from Wysa has revealed that teenagers would rather turn to TikTok in times of a mental health crisis than speak to a teacher, underlining the scale of the youth mental health crisis.
According to Wysa, an artificial intelligencebased emotionally intelligent mental health service, eight in ten teens claim to suffer mental health symptoms, with one in three warranting professional support for depression or anxiety.
