Suicide is the second leading cause of death in Canada for people between the ages of 10 and 34, and statistics indicate 90% of youth who committed had a diagnosable mental illness. The symptoms of most mental illnesses begin during adolescence and can severely impact how they relate to others, and their development of life skills. Depression, bipolar mood disorder, anxiety disorders, and schizophrenia often start in teenage/young adult years and these are very important years to gain a number of important competencies, which are very important for later years. Poor mental health is strongly related to other health and development concerns in young people, such as causing delays of losing a year in school, lower educational achievements, or getting into self-destructive behaviour, such as substance abuse & violence. If not found early on it could cause them a very hard time in life, holding them back from reaching their full potential and creating the best life for them. If not found, they can not be treated. Failure to properly treat early, can cause a very serious ramification on their later life. But if found and treated, they have larger chances of growing towards their potential, maintain physical health and well-being, better handle lifes ups and downs, make better life decisions and much more.
