It's the UK, but I'm sure that the same can be said about young women here in the USA.
Young women at staggeringly high risk of anxiety and depression
Ashitha Nagesh for Metro.co.uk Thursday 29 Sep 2016 9:39 pm
There’s been a huge spike in the number of young women suffering from mental health problems, a major health report has found.
According to the latest study from NHS Digital, more than a quarter (26%) of young women aged 16 to 24 are suffering worrying symptoms – more than three times the rate for men the same age (9%).
And around a quarter of young women have self-harmed – most commonly by cutting themselves – compared to just 10% of men the same age.
In 1993 young women were twice as likely as young men to exhibit common mental health disorder (CMD) symptoms. Now, they are three times more likely to experience them.
CMD symptoms include irritability, worrying, depression, anxiety, feelings of panic, compulsion and trouble sleeping.
As I said, I'm sure that rates are pretty close to the UK's, here.

I find it interesting that the media finds a report that basically says that things are fundamentally unchanged with the mental status of young people as they were, oh, say, back in the Sixties.
Women worry about all kinds of stuff. It's what they do. They worry about their friends, their boyfriends, their wardrobe, their teeth, their breast size and shape, and whether their butt is too big (or not big enough).
But then again, the report writer is looking to make money, as is the media.
We wouldn't be healthy if we didn't have a tragedy around every corner. :fuelfire: :yawn:
