Now young women and Men are at a 'High Risk Group' for Mental Illness reveals a national survey by Lady Gaga's foundation

As we already know that kindness makes the world go round, and a new study shows that it's also good for our mental health.

A survey at the Lady gaga's foundation of 2,000 American youth aged 15 to 24 which looked at how young people's mental wellness is affected by relationships, their environment, and the presence or absence of kindness in their communities.

The study shows that young people-from high school to those entering the workforce- who describe their environment as kind are more likely to be mentally healthy. Nine in 10 young people are concerned about their mental health, but more than half say they are struggling, according to a national survey by Lady Gaga's foundation.

when teens between 13-24 years were interviewed across the US they said they were stressed

A 34 percent of the crowd felt hapless or sad, and nearly 30 percent of the crowd felt fearful.

Those figures spiked alarmingly when the researchers looked specifically at LGBTQ+youth, who were more stressed (69%), sad(59%) and fearful(44%) than their peers who identified as hetrosexual.

According to a study, parents overestimate how likely their child is to talk to them about difficult situations and underestimate the role of stress in their children's lives.

"Born This way Foundation hopes this survey will help to raise awareness about mental wellmess and provide with information that's practical to their lives. But just as importantly, we hope it will be a tool to encourage conversations about a topic we still strugle to talk about," said Cynthia Germanotta, co-founder and president of Born This way Foundation.
