[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of young adults are really struggling with mental health.  I think more than we were that age.  Maybe partly due COVID, probably more due to social media.  It's really so sad.[/quote]

+100

I had a niece and nephew (no mental health history), 3 work colleagues’ kids, neighbor’s kid, mom at my gym: all have mental health issues that required a break from school in the past 3 years.

It’s approaching epidemic levels. There is missing VT kid right now who sounds like a mental break. Very sad.

35% increase in mental issues.  This age group has more than ever.[/quote]

Yes. It's not the 'schools' or 'pressure' per se. Mental health is a huge issue in the teen-college age group.  Record numbers.  Social media/iphone usage, environmental toxins, weed today is different-causes psychosis, etc.

The population (whether they go to college or not) has seen a huge increase in mental health issues===what's happening on campuses is just a reflection of that.[/quote]
