Mental health issues can be debilitating and isolating, leaving you feeling like you don't know who to turn to, or that there isn't anyone who can understand what you are going through. The prospect of asking for help and exposing deeply personal experiences can further heighten the distress people feel in the moments when they most need help.

Previously, YouTube’s crisis resource panels only appeared in search results. We’re now expanding them to show on the Watch Page as well, right under the video title. The Watch Page is where people spend most of their time on YouTube, which means a big increase in the visibility of these messages. The panels appear on the Watch Page below videos whose content is about suicide and self-harm, delivering a powerful combination of educational and emotionally resonant content alongside prompts to take action if needed.

Creators are important voices in the conversation about mental health, whether through sharing their own personal stories about managing or coping with a mental illness, or through helping to normalize talking about mental health and seeking help. We provide space for creators to talk about these issues, however we do not allow content on YouTube that promotes suicide, self-harm, or is intended to shock or disgust users, and we remove that content.

Previously, YouTube’s crisis resource panels only appeared next to searches related to suicide and self-harm. However, supporting our viewers’ mental health and wellbeing goes far beyond these issues. In fact, concerns like anxiety and depression are incredibly common and more than 50% of Americans will encounter some form of mental health disorder in their lifetime. To meet that need, in the US we are expanding the range of topics that display crisis resources in YouTube search results to issues like depression, sexual assault, substance abuse and eating disorders. This will ramp up in the US in the coming weeks, and we are working on rolling these changes out internationally in the coming months. We believe that connecting viewers to resources is incredibly important across the spectrum of mental health issues.

Managing depression, anxiety and substance abuse can be lonely and isolating, whether you are experiencing these challenges yourself or supporting a loved one. You are not alone. If you or a loved one are struggling, there is help available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
