Young South Adults Facing Invisible Depression Beneath the Surface / SBS News

Ranked 17th out of 18 major countries, the mental health of South Koreans is reportedly at an alarmingly serious level.
Mental health issues are particularly prominent among the generation in their 20s and 30s.

However, the depression appearing in young adults these days
often manifests differently from the image we typically associate with it.
As a result, it is said to be difficult not only for people around them, but even for the individuals themselves to realize they are suffering from depression.

From how to self-assess one's mental health,
to ways to care for the mind in daily life, and the point at which one should seek professional help.
We asked a psychiatrist directly.
