A consortium of health experts has issued a stark warning about a global surge in mental ill health among young people, driven by a confluence of factors they deem 'dangerous' and 'alarming'. These factors include intergenerational inequality, unregulated social media, wage theft, insecure employment, and the climate crisis.

A recent report highlights the impact of global trends in economics, climate, and technology on young adults. The report emphasizes the need for a comprehensive overhaul of mental health approaches to address this crisis.

Experts stress the urgency of addressing these driving factors and improving mental health treatments to prevent premature death, disability, and lost potential.
