  • 75% of all lifetime mental illnesses begin by age 24
  • Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among young adults ages 20-24
  • 67% of young adults with depression or anxiety go untreated

Mental Health Trends in Young Adults

  • High prevalence: Nearly 1 in 3 young adults (ages 18–25) in the U.S. experience a mental health disorder each year.
  • Treatment gap: Only about 47% of those with mental health disorders receive treatment.
  • Common issues: Anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and trauma are widespread.
  • Impact of stress:  Academic/career pressures, social media, family dynamics, and identity exploration increase stress.
