Young adults mental health
The challenges of early adulthood
Growing up has always been hard – but today, people aged 17-24 can face unprecedented mental health challenges. Social media brings with it a culture of instant judgement, and an online profile where embarrassing memories can last forever. Couple this with the rigors of academics and social pressures, and the burden can be overwhelming. For some, additional scrutiny and heightened expectations can exacerbate these issues – leading to deep feelings of isolation, stress, and anxiety. Mental health struggles among young adults are alarmingly common; about 20% of adolescents experience a mental health problem annually and, between 2018 and 2019, nearly a quarter of 17-year-olds reported self-harming. The situation worsened with the COVID pandemic, where 83% of young adults with mental health needs reported feeling worse. All too often, the mental health needs of young people are overlooked, and the natural struggles of becoming an adult can mask much deeper, more troubling issues.

How we work
When – and why – people aged 17-24 need support
In today’s fast-paced world, young adults face numerous challenges that can take a toll on their mental health. The pressures of academic achievement, social media expectations, and the complexities of personal relationships can lead to overwhelming stress and anxiety. Mood disorders, such as depression and bipolar disorder, are increasingly prevalent among 17-24 year olds, often exacerbated by the constant comparison to others and fear of judgement. Additionally, personality disorders and burnout from trying to meet high expectations can further complicate their emotional wellbeing.
Substance abuse, including drug and alcohol addiction, is another significant issue that can present itself, as young adults seek coping mechanisms to deal with their stress and emotional pain. Eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia, and binge-eating disorder also reflect the intense pressures to conform to societal ideals of ‘beauty’ and body image. These struggles can lead to severe physical and psychological consequences if left unaddressed.
Signs that a young adult may need support include drastic changes in behaviour, withdrawal from social activities, a decline in academic performance, and expressions of hopelessness or persistent sadness. They might also exhibit symptoms of anxiety, such as excessive worry, irritability, or panic attacks. Substance use, disordered eating patterns, and self-harm are critical indicators that immediate professional help is necessary.

Whole-person mental health support for young adults
At Harbor, we recognise that the teenage years and early adulthood are pivotal times marked by both excitement and significant challenges. This period of development can be overshadowed by mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders and other psychological problems. Early intervention is vital, and our whole-person approach ensures that 17-24 year olds receive comprehensive care tailored to their unique needs. Teens and young adults often struggle to open up about their mental health concerns, especially to parents, and so our clinicians create a safe and trusting environment.

This openness is essential in identifying whether an issue is a serious mental health condition and in providing appropriate support. Our expert team, including young adults’ mental health specialists, works closely with both the individual and their family, offering skilled guidance and support. We aim to alleviate the stressors that often overwhelm young people, such as academic pressures, social expectations, and the complexities of growing up in a digital age.
Our luxury residential sanctuaries in central London provide a serene escape from these pressures, allowing 17-24 year olds to focus entirely on their recovery. In this elegant and supportive environment, clients work one-on-one with a dedicated psychotherapist, supported by a multidisciplinary medical team of experts.
