dc.description.abstractIn this chapter we present an overview of the prevalence of and trends in psychological distress among Norwegian adolescents, including self-reported symptoms of anxiety and depression. We specifically highlight Ungdata surveys from 2010 to 2020, which show a gradual increase in mental health problems for both genders and particularly alarming measurements from 2015 onwards. We discuss different explanations for this increase, in particular social media use, school stress and social and economic inequality. Moreover, because psychological distress is assessed primarily via young people’s self-reporting, we inquire – in line with the ideal of reflexivity – whether an increased focus on young people’s mental health can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Finally, we ask what should be done, and we discuss whether the introduction of the interdisciplinary topic health and life skills in Norwegian schools is in fact helpful. Our conclusion is that this measure may fail to properly address the most likely underlying causes for youths’ increased report of psychological distress, and effective measures will most likely have to involve political and economic resolutions.en_US
