Global Mental Health Crisis Linked to Mistrust and Uncertainties

Many people around the world feel sad or worried a lot, with depression and anxiety being common problems.

Things like using social media too much and not knowing what will happen in the future, like with jobs or the environment, make these feelings worse, especially for young people.

People also don't trust important groups like the government or the news as much anymore.

Sometimes, decisions made by these groups, like how they handled fireworks during bad air quality or the problem of stray dogs, add to people's worries.

It's important that these institutions act fairly and thoughtfully so everyone feels more secure and less anxious.
