Households face increased healthcare costs for mental health treatment, reduced educational outcomes, and long-term productivity losses. Parents require more support services and counseling, increasing family expenditures. Adolescents experience reduced economic participation and earning potential due to untreated mental health issues.
Governments may need to increase mental health funding, regulate social media platforms, mandate school-based mental health programs, and implement workplace mental health standards. Healthcare systems require expanded psychology and psychiatry services. Education policy must address bullying prevention. Potential for new regulations on social media use by minors.
