Mental illnesses today present an urgent challenge for young people. Conditions such as depression, anxiety, and behavioural and eating disorders typically peak around the age of 15, with up to 75% of lifetime psychiatric illnesses emerging by the age of 25. According to the World Health Organization, mental health conditions account for 15% of the global burden of disease among individuals aged 10 to 19, with suicide standing as the third leading cause of death for those aged 15 to 29.
