Elma Pollard - 07 September 2022 - Youth mental health levels dropped since 2010

Young people’s mental health has seldom been more fragile. The latest Mental State of the World Report, the largest and most comprehensive global mental well-being study, drawing on 223 000 respondents in 34 countries, found ‘a profound generational decline in young people in every country.’ Nearly half had mental health issues in the ‘distressed’ or ‘struggling’ ranges. Fewer than one in five had ‘thriving’ or ‘succeeding’ scores.
