Youth Mental Health is Worsening
New research suggests that there have been major changes in the mental health of young people.
According to this research, physical factors-including climate change-have worsened the mental health of youth.
The coronavirus pandemic also factored into the decline of mental health. In 2019, 13% of adolescents reported having depressive episodes and suicide rates jumped by 60% in 2018.
Now, many young people use psychiatric drugs to help with depression and anxiety.
