New Brunswick teen Lexi Daken s death exposes Canada s lack of public mental health supports: advocate

  TORONTO The death by suicide of a New Brunswick teen who unsuccessfully sought help at a hospital highlights the lack of coordinated mental health supports available to Canadians, says a youth mental health advocate. Sixteen-year-old Lexi Daken waited in a Fredericton hospital emergency room for eight hours on Feb. 18 only to be told a psychiatrist was not available. The Grade 10 student, who had been previously diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and depression after an earlier suicide attempt, ultimately left without receiving help and died last Wednesday. It’s a story familiar to many Canadians who have struggled to find help for mental health issues, Executive Director of Youth Mental Health Canada Sheryl Boswell said on CTV’s Your Morning Monday.
