Q. what is causing the epidemic of anxiety in our young?

Obviously the pandemic & lockdown(s) have played a role as has the increasing pressure on school kids over exams... we might also factor in the pressures of social media.

However, I think its also fair to say that we have become better at recognising mental health as an issue. Part of this epidemic may be a surfacing of a problem that for years went unrecognised or unacknowledged!
