Briefings

A 2026 study indicates that children in Israel have experienced more than double the number of psychiatric emergency visits compared to the pre-October 7 period, marking a significant surge in mental health strain following the conflict.

Key points

• Children's psychiatric emergency visits have more than doubled in Israel since October 7, 2025.
• The increase represents a substantial rise in mental health demand during the ongoing war.

Context

This finding highlights the severe psychological impact of the prolonged conflict on the younger generation of Israelis, with visit numbers rising sharply after the initial war phase.

Limitations

The study covers only the period following October 7, 2025, and does not provide baseline data for the pre-war period, limiting the ability to calculate exact percentage increases.
