  6. I think theres a few reasons for this one being young people spend too much time online so they probably experience all the anxieties and bullying that comes with that. Another is lack of guidance from their parents and other caregivers, another is quite frankly this victimhood industry thats around now. Its like a competition to see whos the most discriminated against.

    Im not a conspiracy theorist but i believe that the uk will eventually be privatised healthcare like in the US. That means people will have to pay for prescriptions. The more people being told they have a disorder the more prescriptions they will sell.

  7. Young people have perfectly legitimate reasons to suffer mentally. Economically they are totally screwed.
    It's one thing to be overworked when you have hope at the end of it, most young people will never own their own homes or pay off their debts no matter how many avocados they give up.

  9. Good idea skipping work. I'm 39 and I wish I did that. Now I suffer ME/CFS since I was stressed for too long before I got sick. What stressed me this much? Shitty job and no realistic way to afford an apartment/house. It was doomed to fail. So why even work in the first place?!

  10. If we don’t look after the mental health of people earlier in life, we will only have more mentally AND physically ill people in future.

  11. I've noticed a big difference nowadays in comparison to when I was younger in terms of the number of people taking sick days from work. That's not to say we didn't do it at all, but it's definitely more common nowadays. The question is, is life more stressful nowadays, or have people gone soft…

  13. Covid causes brain damage and mental health disorders and has been left to let rip rampantly with people getting repeated reinfections. The evidence is out there in numerous studies from Harvard, The Lancet, BMJ and more.

  15. To much pressure on these kids from a very early age,first whilst tiny they are put in nurseries,then in school ( many before school starts) as the parents are having to work,then pushed and pushed into achieving a degree after school,their brains must be exhausted.

    .

  16. Ever since the millennium, the machine – with the help of current boomers.
    Had kicked in full force, to target this generation from every possible angle; economically, emotionally, psychologically, socially etc. Tragic I say!

  17. It it RAMPANT long covid and post-covid brain damage from even mild infections which has been known about simce 2020. We are being forced to catch it constantly now, especially the young. It is often multisystem covid damage which happens to cause fatigue and insomnia being misdiagnosed as depression and anxiety by medically gaslighting doctors as post viral illnesses usually are at first. Other times, it is an infection causing real depression and anxiety, as EVEN MILD covid infections have been PROVEN to cause long term brain damage leading to brain fog, cognitive decline, depression and anxiety in people with or without full multisystem long covid.

    The government LOVES the fact it is being blamed on mental health so they can keep forcing workers and students to get reinfected every year without mandatory HEPA filters in workplaces and schools, or masks, or even allowing most ppl to get a booster anymore.

  18. Aww poor things, I'm sure the older generations which have been thorough wars, economic struggles, true racism and sexism will help them through their stresses.. 🙄

  22. What the point in getting a job if you can't survive? I'd rather have no food than no food and no dignity.

  25. They need Islam and a connection with their lord but the Atheists and they cowardly Christian compatriots are offering sec change operations and Xanax.

  28. I wish there was more research as to how all this technology has effected us, we are the first generation to have the world in our pocket, It cant be unrelated

  29. Yeah no sheeeeeet.

    They’ve come out of school into the worst economy in decades and they’re bombarded by people their age jet setting and living the life of a celebrity of social media.

    Of course they’re going to suffer hugely with their mental health
    In that environment.

    Before social media and the internet you’d only know what was outside your door. People were living similar lives and very few people had any great advantage. If someone came into a bit of money they’d keep it quiet.

    Dangling a gold bar whilst shackling someone down is going to lead to the worst mental health in people who are both developing and have no idea about life outside of the internet.

  30. Is this UK or the developed countries as a whole?

    In the UK, more and more people are pretending to be ill or exaggerating using COVID lockdown as an excuse 😂😂😂 to get benefits in which they receive more money than someone working a manual labour job full time. BTW, not all people on benefits are faking their illnesses. I'm aware that there are some who are not mentally or physically well and have severe chronic disabilities.

    Some of those claiming to be ill can get a free house, free money for transport, free childcare, no tax or bills needed to be paid, and considerable change for personal spending.

    Where I work (hospitality), I've seen so many people's CVs coming in because we desperately needed a person to replace a staff that wasn't turning up. And 95% of them never answered our calls or turned up for the interview, and they reapply the following week and the weeks after… turns out that these 'applicants' just wanted to add something to their job search record, claiming to be unsuccessful to continue receiving universal credit.

  31. I suffered from panic attacks from age 17 in the 80s and I was told to "get a grip". At least now MHI is recognised and taken seriously.
