Mental Health

O What is your understanding of Mental

Health?

Introduction to Mental Health

O World Health Organization Definition of Mental Health O “ Mental health refers to a broad array of activities directly or

indirectly related to the mental well-being component included in the WHO's definition of health: "A state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease". It is related to the promotion of well-being, the prevention of mental disorders, and the treatment and rehabilitation of people affected by mental disorders.”

O MentalHealth.GovO “Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social

well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.”

Mental Health & YouthStatistics

O The challenges facing youth today are expansive and pervasive. We would be remiss in any attempt to claim to know all of mental health obstacles youth encounter today, however, in examining the literature and engaging with youth the following appear to be a collection of some of the major youth mental health challenges …

Impact of StressO As a direct result from stress:

O 40% of teens report feeling irritable or angry

O 36% nervous or anxious

O 30% sad or depressed

O 31% overwhelmed

O 36% fatigue/sleepiness

O 25% skipped a mealO 39% of these teens report doing this once

a week or more

O 32% experience headaches

O 21% neglected work or school

O 26% report snapping or being short with a classmate due to stress

O Teen girls report being more stressed than teen boys*

Coping with StressO In response to feeling stressed:O 37% of teens use exercise or walking to manage stress

O 28% used sports

O 46% Video games*

O 43% Online*

O Highly stressed youth reported an average of 3.5 hours online while lower stressed youth reported an average of 2 hours.

*Not believed to be positive coping

mechanisms because their sedentary

nature allows the tensions to remain in

body. However, recent research has

indicated playing violent video games (I.E.

Call of Duty) can help to improve mood and

reduce stress, but is also shown to increase

aggressiveness and aggressive behaviors.

Technology & Youth Mental Health

O 11-18 Year Olds spend over 11 hours a day exposed to electronic media (Kaiser Family Foundation, 2010).

O Social Networks are influential in identity development (social identity) as youth are more likely to integrate aspects of themselves that others respond positively to (Steinberg, 2010).

O Over 2/3rds of U.S. Facebook users admit to visiting the site at least once per day and have an average of 330+ friends (Pew Research Center, 2014).

O 60% of children will use a Social Networking Site before the age of 10 (Lange, 2010).

Technology & Youth Mental Health

O Creating and maintaining social

relationships often act as a buffer against

mental health by providing an outlet and

emotional support (Chu, Saucier, and

Hafner, 2013).

O The size of, and frequency of contact with

social support/social networks is correlated

with individuals well being (Rafnsson,

Shankar, and Steptoe, 2015).

O SNS use has been linked with Sleep Disturbances, lower Academic Achievement, & Internet Addictions among vulnerable populations {ADHD & Depressive symptoms} (Spies Shapiro & Margolin, 2014). O Use of Computers before bed relates to sleep disruption in

adolescents

O Academics may be inhibited as teens try to multitask SNS/Internet with homework, electronic use takes away from time spent studying, and students indicate using electronic media in class, while studying, and while doing homework. O Time spent talking on the phone was associated with lower reading proficiencies while texting was positively correlated to reading comprehension and family factors (educational attainment, parent-child interaction time) were found to be more predictive of reading literacy than time spent on phone (Hofferth & Moon, 2012).
