Life Cycle Approach to Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed)
Gino Kenny (Dublin Mid West, People Before Profit Alliance) | Oireachtas source
I have a broad question for Dr. Duffy. Does he see there being a crisis in society with regard to young people's mental health, given all the pressures young people have to endure, especially around social media? It is difficult being young. We were all young and we all had difficulties in some periods of our life. When you get the intervention, it is revolutionary in some ways but these days, there are so many pressures on young people. It is different than it was 20 years ago. Is there a crisis in how young people are treated in society?
