About the Data Insights
This infographic explores mental health trends among youth, teens and young adults, including rising rates of mental illness and suicide. Mental illness is increasingly common in young people and may persist throughout their lifetime, as 75% of all lifetime mental illness develops by age 24. Rates of mental illness are rising faster among 18- to 25-year-olds than the rest of the adult population, which is largely driving the overall increase in rates of mental illness in the U.S.
