Young people are “under an incredible amount of stress”
Exam stress, poverty and social media are fuelling mental health problems among school pupils, a top Glasgow psychologist has warned.
He added: “I also think one of the biggest things is the demand we put on young people for qualifications now. If you look at what young people have to achieve to actually get into university or employment we have to work towards examinations and that puts an incredible amount of stress on young people.”
His comments came following a question from councillor Blair Anderson about the reasons for mental health issues among young people. Labour councillor Fiona Higgins thanked the education department for work in addressing a “severe mental health crisis in our schools.”
