越来越多年轻人担心自己的心理健康
A growing number of young people say they are worried about their mental health, according to a new report from the United States.
The survey, carried out by a large health insurance company, found that 62% of college students and young adults aged 18 to 28 were concerned about their mental or emotional wellbeing. Nearly 70% of college students said they had experienced problems such as anxiety, stress or depression. Health experts say the numbers have been rising for the past four years.
The report also revealed a gap between parents and their children. While 39% of parents believed their child felt understood after they talked, only 28% of students agreed.
Interestingly, almost a third of young people said they had turned to AI chatbots for help with their feelings – to look up symptoms, find ways to cope, or simply to have someone to talk to. Experts say technology can be useful, but it should not replace real conversations with friends, family or trained professionals.
Common sources of pressure for students include exams, heavy workloads, worries about money and uncertainty about the future. Experts suggest keeping a regular sleep routine, staying active, breaking big tasks into smaller steps and, most importantly, talking to someone. Most schools and universities offer free counselling services for students who are struggling.
美国一份新报告显示，担心自己心理健康的年轻人越来越多。
这项调查由一家大型医疗保险公司开展。结果发现，在 18 至 28 岁的大学生和年轻人中，有 62% 的人担心自己的心理或情绪状况。将近 70% 的大学生说，自己曾经有过焦虑、压力大或抑郁之类的问题。卫生专家表示，这些数字在过去四年里一直在上升。
报告还揭示了父母和孩子之间的认知差距。39% 的父母认为，谈过心之后孩子会觉得自己被理解了，但这样认为的学生只有 28%。
有意思的是，将近三分之一的年轻人说，他们曾经向 AI 聊天机器人倾诉——查一查症状、找找应对的办法，或者只是想有个人说说话。专家认为，科技确实有用，但不能取代和朋友、家人或专业人士的真实交流。
学生常见的压力来源包括考试、繁重的课业、经济上的担忧，以及对未来的不确定。专家建议，保持规律的作息，坚持运动，把大任务拆成一个个小步骤，最重要的是，找人聊一聊。大多数中学和大学都为有困难的学生提供免费的心理辅导。
