The COVID-19 pandemic has taken an emotional and mental toll on many young American adults, according to recent polls.
A poll released on April 23 by the Institute of Politics at Harvard Kennedy School found an increasing number of young adults have battled feelings of depression and hopelessness during the pandemic.
Data released by the Harvard Youth Poll of 2,513 Americans aged 18 to 29 found that 51% of the participants felt depressed, down, or hopeless. Their mental health battles caused 49% to overeat or have a poor appetite, 68% to feel as if they had little energy, 48% experienced concentration issues, and 28% noticed thoughts of self-harm.
