I worry about the kids that have haven't received attention due to suppression of their parents. I think we all know that the voices of our kids/children don't generally hold the same weight that an adult does and I worry that with increased impact to mental health that kids are being pushed to breaking point because they aren't being listened to. My other concern is that whilst the contributors to mental health can be incredibly broad I do feel that the attention needs to be paid more in understanding the "why". We can't reduce the numbers of kids walking into emergency rooms with mental health problems by creating more beds. We need to understand the root causes, which I am sure they understand the importance of. One of the hypothesis I have is the fear for the future, often depression comes when you have dread for the future. We know that the cost of living is extremely high, the dream of owning a home and starting a family are becoming increasingly more challenging for even those in the middle class. That's not to say this hasn't ever been challenging, but I do think that it is significantly more challenging. Couple that with social media painting false images of our peers and the pressures to be doing something amazing are making it difficult for people to navigate life as an average person. As a side note, I remember a decade ago when I graduated high school I remember being under so much pressure (placed on myself) to get into University because in my bleak view of the world at the time I couldn't shake the idea that if I didn't make it, I wasn't going to have the future I wanted.
