Concerns for the TA:
I am researching the concerns of our target audience of 16-25
Mental Health:
PTSD - The overall prevalence rate for a diagnosis of PTSD. It was much higher in young people and adults aged 16-24 years with 5% of young men and 4% of young women likely to screen positive for PTSD.
Depresssion and anxiety- The adult psychiatric morbidity survey completed in 2007 indicated that 16% of young people aged 16-24 met the criteria for diagnosis with a common mental health condition such as depression and anxiety.
Self-harm - Reports of self-harm were highest for young people of both sexes in the 16-24 age group.
Suicidal thoughts
