Current research is disproportionately focused on trends in English-speaking countries, making the generalisability of the evidence unclear. The paper presents comparative analysis of suicide rates, anxiety, depression, and general psychological distress symptoms among young Americans and Eu ropeans, with a focus on Slovenian trends. The results show that the prevalence of anxiety disorders and milder symptoms of psychological distress has been growing among young people in both the United States and Slovenia, as well as across Europe. The rise in suicide rate and the prevalence of severe depression seems to be limited to the United States. The disproportionately stark rise in mental illness among American youth calls for a more thorough understanding of what causes youth mental health time trendsVse več raziskav kaže na naraščanje duševnih težav mladih po letu 2010. Ker je velik del raziskav omejen na trende v angleško-govorečih državah, ostaja nejasno, v kakšni meri je porast prisoten drugod. Članek razširja razumevanje časovnih trendov duševnega zdravja mladih prek primerjave ameriških trendov duševnih težav s slovenskimi in umestitve primerjave v evropski kontekst. Rezul tati kažejo, da anksioznost in blažje psihološke stiske naraščajo tudi v Evropi in specifično Sloveniji, naraščanje samomorilnosti in hudih oblik depresije pa se zdi omejeno na ZDA. Ta razlika kaže na nujo po bolj poglobljenem razumevanju vzrokov duševnih stisk v meddržavni perspektivi in specifičnih vzrokov v ZDATEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaSlovensko sociološko društvo
