Introduction:

Depression, anxiety these words were never heard by society in the past, at least we know about it fully or partially. we think these are some mental disorders or diseases or these are the symbols of some weak people. We are all busy in our lives, which can be personal or professional such as family, job, career, education, duty, etc. we all face failures and problems in our life in larger or small manners depending on situations and circumstances, and we solve these problems and then move on in our lives, if some past bad memory, experience, behavior haunt us always and take our happiness it is generally called depression this depression hurt our standard of living and eliminate quality in our life. today the word depression is a threat to people irrespective of age, sex, financial status, etc. Specifically, it affects and targets youth, who generally study in educational institutes such as school(depending on if he/she prepares for board exams) and college students. depression doesn't just destroy careers but also hamper relationships, confidence, quality and standard of living, personality, etc.  We generally don't take the consequences of depression and take this matter in a funny way. parents also generally knowingly or unknowingly don't interfere in this matter with their children.  They are just busy in their lives and hesitate to talk about this with their children. so we need to discuss briefly the causes of depression and how it affects youth.

1) Lack of employment opportunities:

In today's world, there is so much competition for jobs. increasing population and demand for jobs is getting more and more, especially govt jobs, educational expenses also increase day by day, Every youth is not financially stable or economically strong in his family. Lack of skill and lack of vacancies in particular posts are some of the factors that put pressure on youth's minds.

2) Fear of losing a job:

In today's world skill, personality, and representation are some of the factors that determine getting a good job or promote to the next big thing. Specifically in the private sector where new and advanced technology is introduced for making a profit, and new techniques and methods are implemented for better growth of private enterprises, it will be almost impossible for a youth if he/she doesn't cope with this kind of situation, he/she has to adapt these challenging situations and perform better, lack of good performance and the desired result may turn out to be an exit for youth and may lose his/her job. This reason will affect his/her mental condition.

3) Lack of support from family:

Members-family is the backbone of a person. If your family supports you, you can come out of any kind of situation, you can solve any kind of problem, or face any kind of difficult circumstances, if your family supports you and stand with you. Because of the busy schedule in our lives sometimes or many times, there is always a lack of communication between family members with their children. Without getting support youth feels lonely and starts to go on negative path such as uses of alcohol, drugs, etc.  These products not only work as weak mentally but also physically, although it gives pleasure both physically and mentally for some time, once a youth addictive in nature then it is almost impossible to free or take out from this condition, and the rest of life also affect due to this. Parents sometimes put a huge burden to fulfill their dreams and put pressure on their children about careers, goals,  jobs, selection of courses, etc. Sometimes they force their child to fulfill their dreams which they failed to achieve in their child our adulthood days. This kind of situation increases when a child prepares for a board exam(whether he/she was preparing for the 10th board exam in school or preparation for a clear 12th standard in college). Even after clearing the 12th standard the next step always going to be to prepare for engineering or become a doctor. parents see engineering and medical specially MBBDS courses are best suitable, financially strong, and good for their child's future. There are so many wide ranges of courses and fields available which can give an identity and social acceptance both emotionally and financially to youth but parents generally want their child to go for a govt job because it gives financial security and respect in society. Without understanding their child's interests,  dreams, and passions they put their opinions on them, and this may cause a bad impact on the child's mind. sometimes parents put pressure on their children because of competition with other parents, they immediately put pressure and force them to achieve the number one position and win the race from their competitors. without knowing their child's ability, skill, knowledge, and problem-solving attitude they just put unnecessary pressure on them. sometimes youth choose their career or education according to their friends or colleagues, they just choose the wrong path for themselves due to blindly follow their fellow competitors, they do this because of competition and also the financial benefits attached to the job, without evaluating their own's capabilities, skill, interest, challenging abilities, they just choose a wrong career path or compete with someone unnecessarily, this will add pressure on them and mentally they will always disturb.

4) Overuse of mobile phones:

In today's world technology also uses in education for better development and growth of a child's performance in exams in both school and college. online classes and online exams are conducted on mobile phones, laptops, computers, etc, education has changed and transformed into virtual or digital, especially after the pandemic, all educational activities are mostly done online specifically on mobile phones. youth generally spend more time with phones compared to family or friends, and they generally study or work on mobile and laptops for long hours.  This will cause restlessness, obesity (due to being inactive physically), various eye, heart, kidney related diseases, and they will feel socially disconnected because of using too much online equipment.  criminal activities, porn, sexual content, and gaming are increasing immensely right now and innocent youth are the victim of these kinds of problems. They attract to all these types of bad things and sometimes can't come out of this, this may cause suicidal attempts, various mental disorders, and diseases that affect the personality and behavior of the youth who faced these types of horrible situations.

5) In the ability to face challenges and solve problems:

Problems are always present in all the fields such as education, job, relationship, career, and decision-making. but a youth's biggest challenge is facing exams and achieving good marks, grades, ranks, etc, or clearing a competitive exam for getting a desired job. failure to secure good marks fail in the exam, and fear of failure these types of thoughts often run through the mind of a youth, he thinks these are only the real issues and challenges in life and he somehow invests his all resources and hard work to clear all these hurdles. he doesn't understand the real meaning of life and doesn't want to see beyond his goals. if he fails to achieve his goal, it severely affects his heart, mind, and soul. He loses his confidence. he doesn't want to accept failure because he feels society, and family will not accept him and his failures, so this pressure of failure starts to destroy his life.

6) physical and mental abuse especially in early childhood days:

Physical and mental abuses such as bad comments, sexual exploitation, sexual harassment, and physical abuse in college or school can cause a severe negative impact on a youth's mind, in some cases he/she can't recover from these kinds of worst experiences, in girl's case sexual assault from a close family member, neighbor, teacher or professor (depends in whether she is in school or college), friends, school or college mates, colleagues (if she works in govt or private sector) this kind of activities damage youth' career and life, if a boy faces bullying from a fellow student, inappropriate comments from the teacher face ragging in his childhood days, these incidents will remain store in his memory, he cannot forget this kind of horrific incidents, this will haunt him rest of his life, these are some of the common causes for depression, anxiety, mental diseases, we need to stop this as soon as possible before getting too late.
