No stress!
Suniya Luthar, professor of psychology and education, believes that young people of all social layers are more and more inclined to anxiety and depression. These data the author of the research received on the basis of the comparative analysis of anxiety and depression parameters of professors and students of the University. A high level and frequently met anxiety and depression at young generation were combined with low and an average level at mature people.
Suniya Luthar disagrees with some researchers who consider, that the problem of anxiety at teenagers and young people grows from parental education with tendencies to hyper wardship, when parents all the time aspire to protect children from failures. Here are other reasons, considers Luthar. Very much depends on a self-estimation and self-respect of the teenager and his or her desire to perfect himself.
The report of the researcher was published by the University of Kansas. During the monitoring it was revealed that the number of the students suffering from depression doubled for the 12 years (from 1989 till 2001). University of Michigan Depression Center has given the exact data - almost 15 % of all students suffer from depression.
