Therapy today is not a passing trend — it’s a reflection of the challenges younger generations are facing in a world that looks very different from the one their parents grew up in.
In this video, Dr Olena Edwards-Skadowska, Founding CEO of London Trusted Therapy Harley Street, shares professional insights grounded in years of clinical practice and informed by research into how mental health is shifting across generations. We look at what younger people are experiencing, why they are seeking therapy more often, and how global uncertainty, social media, and weakened community structures are shaping resilience.
Many parents ask: “Why is my child in therapy?”. This question matters — and the answers are rarely simple. Therapy is not about being “broken enough.” It’s about recognising patterns, coping with overwhelming emotions, and having a safe space to grow.
Drawing on evidence as well as therapeutic practice, this talk explores:
Why younger cohorts report poorer mental health than older generations
How social media can fuel both connection and isolation
What has been lost in terms of community and shared coping strategies
Why today’s collective challenges feel so different from those faced before
This isn’t about weakness. It’s about wisdom, responsibility, and the courage to face life with clarity and compassion. Whether you are a parent, a young person, or simply curious about mental health, this is a professional perspective designed to inform, inspire, and support.
