Professor Peter Fonagy, leading an independent review of mental health, ADHD, and autism, says mental health problems among young people are genuinely increasing, with anxiety, depression, self-harm, and eating disorders common. He highlights that economic uncertainty, job worries, and social media pressure make growing up harder than before, rejecting claims that young people are overly sensitive or a "snowflake generation."
Key Facts
The review was started nine months ago after a comment by the then-health secretary about over-diagnosis in young people.
About 25% of people aged 16 to 24 now experience mental health issues.
Prof Fonagy says the rise in mental health problems since the 1990s is real and not just due to increased awareness.
Social media and economic challenges contribute to the mental distress young people face.
Girls, especially from age 12, are more affected, partly due to societal expectations and issues like sexual aggression.
Over 100 experts and families helped with the review.
Some doctors worry that normal stress is sometimes wrongly treated as a medical problem.
Prof Fonagy shared his personal experience with mental health struggles when he was young.

England’s largest school leaders’ union, the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT), has asked for a pause on graded Ofsted school inspections. They say the inspections are harming school leaders’ mental health and are too stressful. Ofsted says it will continue grading schools but has worked with unions and parents to develop the new system.
Key Facts
Ofsted introduced a new report card system for school inspections in England in November, replacing simple overall grades with more detailed assessments.
The change followed the death of head teacher Ruth Perry, whose inquest found an Ofsted inspection contributed to her suicide.
The NAHT claims the new inspection system causes serious stress and health problems for school leaders.
Testimonies from head teachers describe feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and facing increased pressure from inspections.
NAHT tried a legal challenge against the new system but it was rejected by the High Court.
Schools in Wales and Northern Ireland use narrative reports without grades to assess schools.
The NAHT wants inspections to pause for a full review, suggesting lessons from these other countries.
Education Secretary Lucy Powell says she takes head teacher wellbeing seriously and will work with them to improve the inspection process.
