About 3% of U.S. high school students identify as transgender, according to the first federal attempt to gather national data on trans teens. Another 2% question their gender identity, results from the 2023 Youth Risk Behavior Survey showed. The survey also found that trans and gender-questioning teens face much higher rates of bullying, persistent sadness, and suicidal thoughts or behaviors compared with their cisgender peers.

Damage to the brainstem could be behind the physical and psychological effects of long COVID, a new study suggests. Brain scans of 30 long COVID patients found they had damage to the region of the brainstem associated with breathlessness, fatigue, and anxiety, researchers reported Monday in the journal Brain. Post-mortem studies of people who died of severe COVID-19 have also shown changes in their brainstem, researchers said in background notes.

More than a dozen states in the U.S. have sued TikTok, accusing the social media platform of helping to drive a mental health crisis among teenagers. A bipartisan group of 14 attorneys general from across the country allege that the company uses addictive features to hook children to the app and that it has intentionally misled the public about the safety of prolonged use. TikTok called the lawsuits "disappointing" and said it would fight them.
