Poor Mental Health in Adolescence Affects Your Future Negatively

Adolescence, which is the last step towards adulthood, is a very difficult period for many people. So much so that even people who have survived this period may not be able to make sense of some of their behaviors when they think of adolescence. In this period, when more aggressive and destructive attitudes can be displayed, the effects of our environment on us are enormous.

We can be negatively or positively affected by our environment, and this is reflected in our behavior after a while. A study on this very subject reveals what kind of problems may arise in the future when people in adolescence have difficulties in this period.

Most adolescents struggle with mental health problems

A new study by the CDC reveals that the number of teenagers experiencing mental health problems during adolescence is increasing. It has been announced that the majority of young people struggle with many psychological diseases, especially depression, during adolescence, which is perhaps the most difficult period of their lives. It was stated that the most important factors in the protection of mental health during adolescence are family and school life, and that individuals should think more sensitively towards their children or students in this period. In these days when we are trying to get through the pandemic period, it has been announced that the COVID-19 process has a very negative effect on the mental health of young people and the number of people with mental health problems in adolescence has increased rapidly.

However, the results of the research also revealed the consequences of the negative impact of the mental health of individuals in adolescence. It has been revealed that being exposed to more negativity in adolescence brings along many problems in adulthood. At the top of these problems are drug use, tendency to violence or exposure to violence, sexually transmitted diseases and behavioral disorders. In addition, the distance of young people from their friends, family and school life negatively affects their mental health and causes them to encounter problems in their future social lives.

For this reason, experts warn parents and educators to keep their relationships with adolescents as healthy as possible. Likewise, it is stated that young people stay away from people and environments that can negatively affect them and tend to healthier relationships, which will positively affect their future social lives.
