New AXA study: One in four people in Switzerland suffers from mental health problems
A current study by the insurance company AXA paints a worrying picture of mental health in Switzerland. According to the results, one in four people in this country is affected by mental health problems. The study examines various age groups and highlights clear differences in mental strain.
The situation among young adults is particularly alarming. The 18 to 24 age group is the most affected by mental illness. Many young people in this phase of life are under high pressure to perform, which can have a negative impact on their well-being.
The study's data also illustrate the prevalence of specific clinical conditions. For example, 12 percent of the people surveyed stated that they suffer from depression. These figures underscore the need to address the topic of mental health more strongly in Swiss society and to improve access to support options.
Experts emphasize that mental stress is increasing in the modern working and living environment. The results of the AXA study serve as an important indicator for policymakers and the healthcare system to develop targeted preventive measures. It remains to be seen what steps will be taken to better support the younger generation in Switzerland in particular.
