The Younger Generation is Highly Vulnerable to Depression

The Younger Generation is Highly Vulnerable to Depression
Mental health issues are currently among the leading causes of death worldwide. Despite being a big issue, they often go unnoticed until the end phase, when a person devastatingly demonstrates the conditions. The world's increasingly difficult socioeconomic situation does not help, and there is a need to look closely at how this menace is rapidly gaining ground among even the most resilient population and health concerns. Mental health problems can affect anyone regardless of age or other aspects. Unfortunately, most cases are realized when the situation has already manifested to a damaging extent.
The younger generation is highly vulnerable to depression, misdirected aggression, violent tendencies, and the stigma associated with mental health. Patients from this population segment suffer from various mental issues, ranging from the most basic refusal to attend school to suicidal thoughts or attempts. I chose this topic to promote mental health stability through communication and education. Working to improve young people with mental health education will provide better coping mechanisms and a foundation to build on as grownups. Whenever these patients are taken to a hospital, healthcare workers are usually the first to contact them. Upon arrival, nurses must build positive rapport and educate them on the necessity of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. There is a need to change how mental health is viewed in society and to bring more awareness to the community.
There are many areas of focus regarding mental health and stigma, which causes low self-esteem, mood, and eating problems. The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) is a screening criterion utilized to diagnose the situation using well-articulated and patient-centered questions (Bienenfeld,2019). By 2020, depression was the leading contributor to the global disease burden. One way to alleviate this population's health concern is constantly monitoring it using a nurse-driven protocol. My preceptor and I have been discussing various ways my strategic plan can include healthcare interventions that will result in success and participation from healthcare professionals. This paper will review the literature on how sample literary works have addressed the importance of communication in handling mental health, especially among the youthful segment of the population.
Clinical Problem Statement
Mental health is taken lightly by society, especially in the early stages. However, it has recently continued to have severe effects on the community, particularly in the daily life of this era. Understanding mental health is usually the most effective way toward subsequent management or prevention. More research on mental health is needed to address the underlying factors causing it, including the different ways the illness manifests and its control measures. Mental health can impact all aspects of a person's life. Hence, there is an urgent need to investigate how it is gaining ground and find ways to mitigate and handle it.
