To summarize my research on mental illnesses, I've decided to go over the alternating effects of them on teenagers and their surrounding communities.
Overall, mental illnesses have a ripple effect on a teenager's mind as well as their surroundings. There are often emotional struggles like depression or anxiety, academic challenges, risk-taking behaviors, social isolation, and physical health impacts.
These mental illnesses have effects on surroundings, like their families. Parents and siblings may feel overwhelmed or worried, peer relationships can fail which may lead to bullying or exclusion, they may have a disruptive effect on their school environment, and they can have an effect on their community like healthcare systems.
The reason why these disorders and illnesses are important is because one in seven adolescents worldwide experience a mental disorder, making it a major public health issue. Also, suicide is the third leading cause of death among 15–29-year-olds which shows how untreated illnesses can become dangerous.
In order to fully represent the struggles that teenagers go through as they experience the world around them, I will use my research and create a short film on how teens struggle daily.
