The official NHS report found young women aged 17 to 19 were twice as likely as young men to have problems, with 23.9% reporting a disorder.

Problems are less common in younger age groups, but are rising albeit slowly.

In children aged five to 15, one in nine had a disorder, up from one in 10 when the review was done 13 years ago.

The results have been gathered by statistics body NHS Digital and assessed by experts to try to ensure only diagnosable conditions are included.
