Homeless individuals and youth both face significant mental health challenges, though the nature and contributing factors of these challenges differ. Homeless individuals often experience high rates of severe mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety and more They also face significant barriers to accessing mental health services, including financial constraints, lack of transportation, and stigma. In contrast, youth commonly struggle with anxiety, depression, self-harm, and eating disorders, influenced by social media, academic pressure, and bullying. Youth generally have better access to support through schools, families, and community organisations, with early intervention and prevention programs playing a crucial role. While both groups have high rates of mental health issues, homeless individuals often deal with more severe conditions and greater barriers to care, necessitating comprehensive support that includes housing, healthcare, and social services. For example, a SAMHSA study found that 30% of homeless adults report serious mental illnesses, while NIMH data shows that 49.5% of adolescents experience a mental disorder, with 22.2% experiencing severe impairment.

Mental health is a state of mental well-being, people with disabilities also experience mental health in a negative way. Adults with disabilities report experiencing frequent mental distress almost 5 times as often as adults without disabilities. Which indicates that people with disabilities experience more than people with disabilities. On the other hand, youth also experience this, and research shows that globally, one in seven 10-19-year-olds experiences a mental disorder, accounting for 13% of the global burden of disease in this age group. This informs us that many people ages 10-19 have issues with their mental health.

Mental health is the state of your well being, whether that may be emotional, psychological and social. Among adolescents one in seven 10-19 year olds reported experiencing a mental disorder, with most being untreated or unrecognized. Young people with mental illnesses are prone to social exclusion, discrimination, stigma, educational difficulties and including of many more. Mental illnesses can negatively impact an individual as it may lead to harsh parenting and socioeconomic problems. On the other hand, more than 20% aged 55 and over reported to have some type of mental illness. Elderly are also negatively impacted by mental illnesses as it prevents them from doing daily living activities, impacts their quality of life and many more.

The homeless and young people both deal with mental health issues such as anxiety, depression and addictive behaviours. Homeless people are prone to mental health issues because of the constant worrying of basic needs such as water, food, a place to sleep and they're overall health. Homeless people have to deal with all these problems with very limited help from outside parties, such as basic healthcare ( hospitals and dentists). 35% of people who have experienced homelessness have a mental health issue. While the youth get mental health issues from other young people or family, such as bullying and neglect from parents and more. These actions can have serious effects on the youth like depression, anxiety, eating disorders and other addictions. Fortunately the youth have more options for help, such as therapy. 14.4% of 12-17 year olds have a mental disorder in 2013-2014. That percentage has only gone up since the introduction of social media, allowing for cyber bullying. In conclusion the homeless and the youth both have their share of mental health issues, like stress, depression and anxiety. The homeless get their mental health issues from worrying about their health, while the youth mainly get it from other people but the the youth have more access to support.

Mental health is significant part of our health and wellbeing. It highlights our individual and collective abilities to make decisions, build relationships and shapes world we live in. Whether it's the LGBTQ+ community or people with disabilities, they both face a significant amount of mental health problems. Disability and health have a complex relationship, long - term mental health problems can cause disability and disability can can cause a mental health problem. LGBTQ+ people often face stigma, discrimination, bullying, violence and exclusion because they are seen as abnormal and weird. Due to this, LGBTQ+ people experience a more unhealthy social, emotional, psychological wellbeing and mental health. Disabled people have been reported to have poorer general health and higher levels or physiological distress than the people without a disability as they would often get discriminated and bullied for their disability. Out of all the LGB+ people there, 74.5% of the population has experienced a mental health disorder at sometime in their life, while only 41% of disabled people have experienced a mental health disorder.

Mental Health is a rising predicament that can have drastic affects on a wide range of individuals, for instance the Homeless and the Elderly, two major impacted population groups that had a severe decline in their overall wellbeing. According to Mission Australia, 54% of homeless individuals experience mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and substance abuse, often exacerbated by the trauma, abuse, and instability associated with homelessness. Due to their circumenstances in terms of finicial constraints, the lack of healthcare only perpetuates the cycle of deterioating mental health. Likewise, the WHO reports that 14% of older adults live with mental disorders, primarily depression and anxiety, driven by factors like loneliness, social isolation, and chronic health problems. Whilst they do have lots of health care access conversly to the homeless, they are encourted with an unfair biased against them and an underrecgonition of their mental well being with their physical being more of a priority.

Mental health is a state of mental wellbeing that enables people to cope with stress, work well and contribute to their community. For instance elderly and homeless citizens struggle with their declining mental health, Mission Australia says that 54% of homeless individuals struggle with mental health conditions such as trauma, anxiety, depression, and abuse. As a result of financial constraints, healthcare is hard to come by for these groups of people, impacting their already terrible mental health. The WHO reports that about 14% of the older generation live with mental disorders, driven by factors such as loneliness, isolation, and chronic health problems. Due to their lack of a safe place to live they are treated unfairly and biased towards others, further decreasing their mental wellbeings.

Mental health is a common problem that affects millions of people and whole populations across the world such as disabled people and youth.

Almost 48% of people with disabilities self reported anxiety disorders in the 2022 NHS. This is most likely caused by their distress over not being able to perform common tasks as well as others. Mental disorders like anxiety can also give them a hard time when it comes to their personal relationships.

Mental health conditions were one of the things that contributed the most burden for young people aged 15-24. Suicide and self-inflicted injuries were the leading specific cause of total burden among males and anxiety disorders were the leading specific cause among females in 2023. These conditions were most likely caused by the stress of sudden responsibilities and changes that happen during that chaotic time of life. Mental health conditions can drastically affect how youth cope with the challenges of life and how they view it. This may cause them to make hasty or uneducated decisions that may bite them in the back some time later.

Mental health is about the well-being of an individual, depending on the state of the individuals mental well-being, their perspective on coping with stress can be very different. for instance the difference between elderly and youth. Youth is a key transition in an individuals life it can influence on how they see life , their habits, and how they deal with challenges.

it is important to understand well-being at an early stage to support other people that are experiencing mental issues, for example the first leading case of mental issues for young females is anxiety disorders (17.1%), and for males Sucide and self inflicted injuries (12.7%). For an elderly individual who passed the transition from youth to adult mental distress and mental health conditions are common in late life The 2020–2022 National Study of Mental Health and Wellbeing identified that 7.9% and 11.1% of men and women, respectively, aged 65 years and older have experienced a mental health condition in the past 12 months (not including dementias).

Well-being is an important aspect without a mental fortitude coping with stress can be very difficult so it is very important that we understand wellbeing.

Mental health issues are increasingly concerning, significantly impacting groups like veterans and young adults, who have seen a notable decline in their well-being. According to the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans, approximately 30% of homeless veterans suffer from mental health issues, such as PTSD and depression, exacerbated by their experiences during military service. Limited access to healthcare and social support continues the cycle of poor mental health for these individuals. Similarly, the National Alliance on Mental Illness reports that 20% of young adults experience mental health conditions like depression and anxiety, driven by academic pressures, social media, and economic challenges. Although young adults generally have better healthcare access, they often face stigma and a lack of adequate support, leading to underdiagnosis and inadequate treatment.

"Mental health" pertains to an individual's psychological and emotional well-being, encompassing their thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Its impact extends to various demographic groups, including older and younger individuals. In 2023, mental health conditions, substance use disorders and injuries placed significant burdens on young people aged 15–24. The specific causes of this burden varied between males and females with suicide and self-inflicted injuries being the predominant cause among males, and anxiety disorders among females. Additionally, rapid global aging could lead to a surge in individuals with mental disorders, potentially overwhelming mental health systems worldwide. Research indicates that over 20% of individuals aged 55 or older may experience some form of mental health issues. Biological and social changes, along with somatic diseases, can impact brain function, leading to isolation and worsened symptoms of medical illnesses. Mental disorders can exacerbate these effects, increasing healthcare costs and hospital stay length. Thus, mental health issues are the leading cause of addiction, depression, anxiety, eating disorders and other health issues among the youth while it causes isolation, depression, and loss of autonomy and independence to the elderly. Several of these causes are identical and it is crucial to identify and address the symptoms to prevent significant harm to individuals.

mental health is defined as the state of your well-being which can include your emotional, psychological and social well-being, it's important to keep our well-being healthy as it promotes a healthy lifestyle which allows us to communicate and regulate our emotions. Varying groups such as the elderly and young children today both experience impacts surrounding our mental health. Mental health conditions surrounding people ages 65 and over have reached 7.9% and 11.1% for men and women, which can overall decline one's health. This is evident when it was recorded that men aged 85 and over hold the highest age-specific suicide rate (which was provided by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare 2024). This decline may be caused because as people grow older, some may be put into nursery homes. Helen, a lady aged 90 who recently moved into residence care last year states that "There's nothing wrong with the institution or the people there but it's not home." this feeling caused her to have a terrible aching sense of abandonment having left behind her personhood and independence. Aged care is a common factor that the elderly can experience high levels of depression, it's like when you leave home or something you were attached to which can even be seen in youth or any age group as if it's a universal feeling. However, youths' mental well-being may have different causes and experiences as well as severity. The stage of adolescence is an extremely important transition in one's life as it can change how likely one is to seek better opportunities and education as well as transitioning into healthy adult lifestyles. Commonly these days young people's mental well-being may be affected by the burden of disease as well as the loss of a loved one, this was seen mainly in people aged 15-24 which caused suicide and self-inflicted amongst males and anxiety disorders among women, both youth and elderly have their highest suicide rates surrounding men. A decline in young people's mental health overall reduces their ablity to socialise with peers, regulate their emotions or find the motivation to live anymore. yay this is why you #needtotakecareofwellbeingothercheckinwithothers #stayhealthy #yougothis

Many indivuals expereience the unsuspecting predicement of mental health throughout many populaiton groups. Two major groups who are serverly impacted by the negative effects of bad mental leath are Homeless and Elderly. Mission Australia states, that 54% of homeless people experience the subtle effects of bad mental health such as scrionzphenia, anxiety, depression and addictive behaviours. The increasing problem of money and a bad state to live in, causes the petryfing effects of bad healh health. The naitonal state of mental health identified 7.9% and 11.1% of men and women who are aged of 65 have experience mental conditions over the past 12 months. Similarities between the two population groups, shows us that both groups experience the same mental conditions despite living in different situaitons. However the major difference we can view is the amount of people that experience mental health homeless people experience mental health on a vastly bigger scale compared to the Elderly.

Mental Health includes our emotional, psychological, and social wellbeing. Mental health conditions can cause difficulties in various aspects of life, such as relationships with family and community, it affects a wide range of people. As an example, the elderly and people with disabilities. They are two of the most impacted population groups and some of their mental conditions are caused by similar factors. According to the WHO, approximately 14% of adults aged 60 and over live with a mental disorder and their mental disorders account for 10.6% of the total years lived with disability and some of the factors for mental health conditions include loneliness and social isolation and dementia. These conditions were likely caused by abuse from their carers and poor health conditions. Therefore, the elderly people is one of the most impacted population groups as a big percentage of that group suffers from a mental health condition.

While according to the CDC, 32.9% adults with disabilities have mental conditions, some of this mental health conditions encompass depression, anxiety disorders and psychological distress, some mental disorders such as anxiety can create conflicts in a relationship. These conditions were likely caused by poor health conditions, acitivity limitations, mobility and self-care. To add on, according to the NHS, 48% of people with disabilities self reported anxiety disorders in 2022. Thus, people with disabilities is one of the most impacted groups as a big percentage of their population suffers from mental conditions.

Mental health are the emotional, psychological, and social wellbeing of ones mental state. Having a negative mental mindset can effect someone's thoughts and can lead to feeling unmotivated of simple tasks.

The LGBTQIA+ is a community with those who are lesbian, gay, queer, transgender or questioning. To put it to simpler terms, they are people who don't identify themselves with their sex assigned at birth. According to Women's Agenda, "non-binary Australians are experiencing mental health issues at more than double the rate of men and women, new data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows." Due to Australia having laws based on Christianity and religious beliefs, they receive much critisism. This results in mental illnesses rising. It's said that "as Sydney’s Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras takes place this week, the latest ABS statistics paint a grim picture of the higher rates of mental illness and self-harm across the nation’s LGBTQI+ community," this is also caused by the constant harrassment from those who aren't open about the idea.
