In 2019, nearly 20% of people in the U.S. were facing some type of mental health struggle. These mental health struggles are more severe for minority groups in the United States such as women, lower income, or disabled people who are more likely than average to be dealing with mental health issues (Mental Health America (MHA), 2022). That 20% figure for mental health issues remains consistent for youth populations as well. This brief article highlights some of the mental health impacts we see in teenage girls, disabled youth populations, and youth living below the poverty line within the United States.
