Between the years of 2012 and 2015, something unexpected occurred. The rates of depression, suicide attempts and suicide among teens increased substantially. Thanks to new research, published in Clinical Psychology Science, the culprit has been identified.
The research was led by Professor Jean Twenge of San Diego University, along with her colleagues. In an article published by The Conversationalist, Twenge wrote that regardless of background (less privilege versus high privilege), teens born after the year of 1995 were more likely to experience mental health issues than their millennial predecessors.
While determining the cause, the researchers ruled out several factors. Because there was a period of steady economic growth and falling unemployment, the researchers didn’t believe economic malaise was to blame.
