According to Clinical Psychiatry Times, a recent study revealed that roughly 75% of young adults aged 18 and over admitted to experiencing feelings of hopelessness at some point throughout the year of 2017. Teens and young adults are particularly vulnerable to suicidal thoughts and self-injury for a variety of reasons during their high school and college years. While many students are prone to mental health issues due to genetic family history, many cases of mental health struggles in high school and college students develop from environmental factors at home, among friends, through extracurricular activities, jobs, academic pressures, and more. Each individual will be affected by life pressures in different ways and for different reasons. Depression is often a common mental health issue among teens and young adults. Severe anxiety is also a rapidly growing concern within these age groups. Many young people will choose to self-harm or turn to drugs and alcohol as a coping mechanism. Suicide continues to rise with each passing decade for young people. And eating disorders are always a concern in this age range.
