Sumario:The COVID-19 pandemic had a great impact on adolescent mental health, with a dramatic rise in psychiatric emergencies that has challenged healthcare systems worldwide. This paper aims at focusing on reporting the authors’ experience and their data collected on adolescent emergencies in 2022 in Tuscan, within the context of the “Azienda USL Toscana Nord Ovest”, a large department covering about a third of Tuscany’s Regional Health Service, in central Italy. The collected findings will be shortly presented and commented on, while providing insights concerning the importance of adapting healthcare systems to adequately respond to this growing crisis and the need for broader strategies to support adolescent mental health in these challenging times.
