Higher stats than any other country. What's the root cause? Take your pick. Social media pressure, overprescription of medications (each with significant psychological side effects), cultural emphasis on career at the expense of family, radical ideologies, hookup/situationship culture, recreational drug use, etc.
Sexual assault, molestation, harassment, death in the family/death of a friend, horrific accident, near death experience, etc can also cause depression and anxiety and other mental health concerns, including suicidal ideations and drug abuse.
Women go through serious stuff too.
