Young Adults' Thoughts about the World on Fire: A study of young adults with anxious or depressive symptoms, and how they think about the stressors in the world around them

Young adults show very high levels of anxiety and depression, both compared to older adults and to young adults of previous generations. This study is trying to find out why! Our idea is that the way young adults are thinking about the social, political, and ecological stressors in their lives could be different from other ages. Therefore, we are trying to find out what this group is thinking and feeling about these stressors. This might allow psychologists to better treat young adults for these symptoms in the future!
