Australia's youth are the most 'vulnerable' to mental illness during COVID-19 | Sky News Australia

Psychiatrist Patrick McGorry says every recession is "followed by rising risks of suicide" amid a report revealing the effects of the stringent coronavirus lockdown restrictions on mental health. A report by the Head of the Brain and Mind Centre at Sydney University Professor Ian Hickie predicts suicide rates to rise by up to 50 per cent due to the economic and social hit of this virus.

If the at risk population for example lose their job or experience "other stresses that result from such a huge disruption to society" it could push them "closer to the edge of the cliff". He said the young are "particularly vulnerable to these kind of risks," as there is an increase in insecurity in a demographic which already bears "the main burden of mental health".

This is a VERY dodgy 'doctor' . Known mostly for prescribing drugs to vulnerable teenagers and using his govt position for influence on his questionable practices.
