Mental health in young people has become an important issue during the last generations. They are prone to feel overwhelmed by all the changes in their daily lives and the problems they face when entering different social groups, especially if we talk about Millennials and Generation Z.<\/span><\/p>\n

This issue has attracted attention, because it must be treated responsibly in all contexts to prevent much more serious diseases. Although it is an issue that affects young people, we must all do our part to support them to improve their mental health. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Have you felt judged or have you seen someone judged because of their mental health problems? It’s because sometimes we associate them with weakness, even though it really isn’t. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Having good mental health must be taken seriously in order to make good decisions in life, manage our intrapersonal relationships, and balance our physical and mental well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    The<\/span>General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) 2022 <\/span><\/a><\/span> surveyed more than 1,350 Colombian youth between the ages of 12 and 17 and the results showed that of them: <\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Almost 53% feel a high level of overwhelm and tension in their environment.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. 38.7% feel depressed.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. About 36% have lost self-confidence.<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. 35.4% do not believe they are capable of making decisions.<\/span><\/li>\n
    5. 30.1% do not fall asleep well.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      These factors along with lack of concentration, feeling useless or worthless, the inability to enjoy some activities and feel happy are the most common among young people when suffering from mental health illnesses.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

      1. Social networks<\/i><\/b><\/h4>\n

      We all constantly use our electronic devices (cell phones, computers, tablets) and it is recurring that many young people become addicted to <\/span>social networks <\/span><\/a><\/span> that’s why. <\/span> <\/p>\n

      Using these networks is also related to increased anxiety and depression; in addition to low self-esteem and cyberbullying. All of them symptoms or elements that increase mental health problems.<\/span><\/p>\n

      2. The COVID-19 pandemic and post-pandemic<\/i><\/b><\/h4>\n

      COVID-19 caused us to stay away from people for a long time, and that together with the worry of catching the virus caused us to feel more alone or stressed with life. <\/span><\/p>\n

      Then, we had an abrupt \u201cback to normal\u201d and started to feel anxious when we were outside or with a lot of people. All these factors are the reason why many young people have felt more and more on the edge of their problems.<\/span><\/p>\n

      3. Concern for working life<\/i><\/b><\/h4>\n

      Study and work loads, or the time we invest in one of the two, are common frustrations for everyone, but they mean twice as much for young people who live in the constant change of these environments. <\/span><\/p>\n

      This is how your feeling of tiredness and stress for not disappointing the expectations of the world also grow. <\/span><\/p>\n

      These factors significantly affect their mental health and lead to illnesses such as <\/span>Burnout<\/span><\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

      4. The widespread frustrations<\/i><\/b><\/h4>\n

      We have all been part of a social group and we know what it is to want to solve collective problems. In the case of young people, it can happen that they feel very responsible and, at the same time, frustrated for being “the future of the planet” and having too many collective concerns to think about. <\/span><\/p>\n

      This can increase the anxiety they feel about making important changes, however difficult it may seem, and destabilize their emotions and mental health.<\/span><\/p>\n

      5. Biological characteristics<\/i><\/b><\/h4>\n

      As you read, there is also <\/span>biological factors <\/span><\/a><\/span> that influence your mental health and that of others. There are 4 main types that you should know about: <\/span><\/p>\n
