TOnsia, depression, panic: they are the More frequent disorders that haunt many young people. But only a few among them receive adequate assistance and help. The data that emerged from the latest report on mental health are disturbing, the Headway report carried out by Ambrosetti and Angelini Pharma.
Because they highlight how our country is now at the top of the list of states where it is worse but where the answer appears insufficient, especially as regards children. The conclusions of the investigation are dramatic: “About 20 percent of children experience mental health problems during school years and one in five reports unhappiness and anxiety for the future Due to solitude, bullying and difficulties in school tasks. In addition, 45 percent of people aged between 16 and 25 express daily anxiety and discomfort associated with eco-anxiety “.
But what the most alarmed are the consequences: «10 percent of the school abandonment of young people are due to mental health disorders. As for the work, however, in Italy the employment rate of people, aged between 25 and 64, with serious mental discomfort, is 40 percent “.

The report examines the reality of every state of the European Union and compares it with the others. So it turns out that “Italy is located above the European average, with more than 1 in 5 citizens suffering from at least one mental disorder»But also that” only 1 in 3 person suffering from these disorders receives adequate medical treatment “.

And here is the chapter focused on young people: «EU countries widen in the ability to organize awareness and prevention programs in schools. In particular, the school psychologist is a consolidated figure in almost all of Europe, with the exception of Romania, Türkiye and Italy “. It is a question of organization, but also economic.

As for the resources, just know that Italy is the last with 3 percent of resources invested in these projects. After us there are only Estonia and Bulgaria. This is why we must intervene and put the approval of the law on school psychologist who can deal with “preventing, treating and supporting” those who remain behind.
THE young people speak openly about psychic malaise, but do adults take them seriously?
