The duties and responsibilities determined for each generation in the post-modern world are very different from the past. During this period, especially the young generation between the ages of 18 and 35 is under serious pressure. Since the competitive age begins, unhealthy urban life and unhealthy environment have come together, research in the field of health has focused on the young generation. The most recent studies show that two-thirds of the young generation are faced with mental health problems or are currently trying to overcome such diseases.
What Does Statistics Say?
According to a senior researcher working for the National Council on Crime and Delinquency, resources need to be distributed in a balanced way to properly address health problems in the world. The world is far from this ideal order.
Natalie Baddour, a licensed therapist at Youth for Christ, worked with 250 different young individuals in line with her recent research. As a result of his studies, the results presented by the licensed therapist are as follows:
- It turns out that 97 percent of these individuals have a mental disorder.
- 48 percent of these individuals are faced with post-traumatic disorder.
According to researches, the high number of individuals with mental disorders cannot be attributed to trauma only. Because emotional or behavioral mental health problems that occur independently from trauma situations are also quite common among young people. The Northwestern Juvenile Project also supported the data found in a previous spatial study on this topic.
According to the statements made by The National Commission on Correctional Healthcare, governments are not willing to identify mental problems, which prevents this problem from occurring. For example, in 2015, only 24 states in the United States wanted legal information about mental states.
