The Liberal Democrats have said they would increase taxes on social media giants and companies like Amazon and Google to fund mental health professionals for all England's state schools, if they win the general election.
Children and young people aged between eight and 25 had a 'probable mental disorder' last year, according to the latest NHS report.
Liberal Democrats found that 336,886 under-18s were still waiting for their first appointment with a mental health professional in the three months to the end of March this year.
Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said thousands of children are being 'left in limbo' while waiting for mental health treatment.
