Unemployment is pushing some young people to self harm and bouts of insomnia
Unemployment is leading to an increase in mental health problems such as depression, panic attacks and self loathing among young people.
The Prince’s Trust’s new Macquarie Youth Index reveals that just under half of young people not in work (48%) say that unemployment has caused problems like self harm and insomnia.
It found they were more likely to self harm or suffer panic attacks 12 months into unemployment.
The index reveals that 16% - or one in six young people – have found unemployment as stressful as family breakdown, while 12% say they have suffered from nightmares as a result of their joblessness.
