**Summary:** A significant rise in hospitalizations has been observed among adolescents and young women in France, especially concerning incidents involving suicide attempts and self-harm. Among young girls aged 10 to 14, there has been a 22% increase in hospital admissions between 2023 and 2024. The age groups 20-24 and 25-29 comprise the largest proportion of those hospitalized. This trend highlights the need for enhanced mental health support and resources for young people. Possible approaches include implementing comprehensive mental health education programs in schools, increasing access to counseling services, and promoting community awareness campaigns to recognize and address mental health issues early. Policymakers, healthcare professionals, and educators may need to collaborate to develop targeted strategies to effectively support this demographic and reduce the incidence of hospitalizations.
