emotional vulnerability

The modern demanding lifestyle and monotonous living environment have magnified the emotional vulnerability in today’s youth, leading to the mental illness issue. The consequences of not addressing youth mental health conditions will be extended to adulthood, impairing both physical and mental health and limiting the opportunities to lead fulfilling lives as an adult.

An estimated 10-20% of youth globally experience mental health conditions, yet these remain underdiagnosed and undertreated. (WHO,2020)

Depression and suicide are closely interlinked and suicide is the fourth leading cause of death among this group. (WHO,2020)
