One in five 15- to 24-year-olds globally ‘often feel depressed’, finds Unicef
Almost one in five 15- to 24-year-olds around the world say they often feel depressed, according to a new UN report. The children’s agency, Unicef, and Gallup conducted interviews in 21 countries during the first six months of the year. Almost all children across the globe have been affected by lockdowns, school closures and disruption to routines. Coupled with concern for family income and health, many young people feel afraid, angry, and uncertain about the future, said the report released on Tuesday.
