    • According to the CDC, in 2020, depression was most prevalent among 18-to-24-year-olds. Further, a 2023 Gallup poll found that loneliness peaked at ages 18 to 29.

    • In that same study listed above, 45 percent of young adults said they had a “sense that things are falling apart,” 42 percent said gun violence in schools was weighing on them, 34 percent said the same of climate change, and 30 percent reported worrying about political leaders being incompetent or corrupt.
