Abstract
Mental health is shaped not only by biological or psychological conditions but also by broader social structures and cultural processes. This paper examines mental health trends among youth through a sociological lens, analyzing secondary data from the World Health Organization (WHO), the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), the National Mental Health Survey (NMHS), and the National Family Health Survey (NFHS). Findings indicate a steady rise in depression, anxiety, and suicidality among young people, with major contributing factors such as academic competition, social media exposure, unemployment, and family transitions. Using sociological perspectives, particularly Durkheim’s theory of suicide and labeling theory, the paper situates youth mental health within the context of social change and inequality. It concludes with suggestions for community-based interventions, awareness campaigns, and policy initiatives to address this growing challenge.
