Discrimination increases mental disorders in young people

Discrimination increases the risk of mental and social problems in the short and long term, according to a study by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) published Monday in the journal Pediatrics.

"75% of all emotional well-being problems throughout life occur just at age 24, and the change to adulthood is an important period to prevent psychological well-being and social problems," said Yvonne Lei, creator of the review at UCLA School of Medicine.

Lei's group analyzed information on the very long-term well-being of 1,834 individuals between the ages of 18 and 28 at the beginning of the review.

The specialists observed that the impacts of separation are aggregate and that the more occurrences of segregation an individual encounters, the more the danger of psychological well-being and behavior problems increases.

The percentage has increased

About 93% of the individuals recalled detailed separation encounters for the review, and the most frequently referred variables were age (26%), actual appearance (19%), sexual orientation (14%), and race (13%).

Research information showed that individuals who experienced an incessant separation, characterized as a few times each month or more.

They were 25% forced to have a finding of dysfunctional behavior, and were twice as likely to foster mental pressure as people who did not have that perception or experienced it a couple of times each year or less.

"The Coronavirus pandemic has revealed new difficulties for emotional well-being, especially in weaker populations", Lei said. "We have the opportunity to reconsider and continue to develop the general welfare administrations perceiving the effect of the separation".

These are the most common disorders that cause discrimination most often

Generalized anxiety disorder

Generalized Anxiety Disorder is one of the main agents of the set of problems known as tension problems, a class in which fears also have a place.

The normal side effects of Generalized Anxiety Disorder can be separated into:

• Physiological: Tremors, sweating, lightheadedness, tachycardia.

• Intellectuals: Disastrous contemplations, meddling thoughts that cannot be dispelled from consciousness, conviction that one is in grave danger.

• Social: Propensity to disconnect and aversion to dislikes where emergencies of discomfort could arise.

In young people, Generalized Anxiety Disorder is frequently related to going to class and meeting semi-strangers, speaking in front of the class, taking exams or presenting themselves to the danger of Bullying (this last option is an additional problem whose provision goes beyond individual treatment and includes showing staff and families).

Social fear

Social fear is a type of distress problem in which scenarios of social connection with individuals who are not part of the closest group of friends produces incredible nervousness and stress, and can significantly trigger anxiety attacks.

The individual with social fear is faced with sad considerations regarding what might happen if the person initiates an argument with someone or collaborates in some way or another with new individuals (for example, entering their field of vision and being quite close).

Momentarily, it can well be summarized as a mental peculiarity such as extreme shyness, despite the fact that their belongings are manifested in any case, when no one is around, through the hostility of the circumstances in which there is social association.

Unlike what happens with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, here there is a rather specific type of environment that systematically creates a heightened nervousness: associations and correspondence with others.

Immaturity is a crucial stage in which this problem can arise as a result of an inordinate preoccupation with the image of oneself that will be given to other people.

On the other hand, the basic fact that at this stage there are more notable imbalances (being really more evolved or not, approaching a more "adult" life or not, etc.) implies that uncertainties and trust problems can be triggered in Some young.
