Mental health has been a widely discussed issue in recent years, but young people, in particular, have been the most affected by this crisis. With the increase in social, academic and economic pressures, in addition to the impacts of social networks, the mental health of the new generations is increasingly fragile.
Contributing Factors to the Mental Health Crisis
One of the main factors affecting young people is the pressure for success and perfection. The expectation for academic performance, social approval and professional achievements has been overwhelming. In addition, the intensive use of social networks contributes to the creation of constant and unrealistic comparisons, generating anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. Recent studies show that excessive time on social networks is correlated with the increase in anxiety disorders among adolescents and young adults.
Ways to Solve the Crisis
It is essential that governments, schools and families create a healthier environment for young people. Expanding access to mental health care, both in schools and through public policies, is a crucial step. In addition, the debate on the impact of social media should be deepened, seeking ways to make the digital environment safer and less harmful for young people.
How can we effectively address this mental health crisis? And what role should institutions and society as a whole play in ensuring the well-being of future generations?
