Truth is access doesn’t always mean impact. Here are why rates are climbing:
1. Social media creates constant comparison and pressure to preform.
2. Academic and societal expectations are higher than ever.
3. Family stress, world events and digital overload leave little room for rest or regulation. 4. Stigma still lingers, even when tools exist, asking for help can feel hard. Therapy, safe relationships and open dialogue matter deeply. 💛
