The burden of young people's mental health conditions in Europe: No cause for complacency
Open accessAbstract
Mental health conditions in young people represent a great public health burden worldwide,1 yet regional-specific estimates are most informative for public health policy.2 In the high-income continent of Europe, mental disorders contribute a greater percentage to overall burden, despite evidence-based interventions and comparatively greater financial capacity to address these issues.3 Castelpietra and colleagues harnesses data from the 2019 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study to provide estimates of the burden of mental health conditions in the 85 million young people aged 10-24 years living in 31 European countries.4 Epidemiological data pooled from 528 unique data sources draws attention to key areas of mental health burden in young people across Europe.

Globally, mental disorders are among the leading causes of disability among people aged 10-24 years.
“Globally, mental disorders are among the leading causes of disability among this age group.”
From The Lancet Psychiatry Commission on youth mental health (2024) · cites this paper as [32]
The main text (page not specified) calls mental disorders one of three leading causes of disability in young people and identifies the studied age range as 10–24 years. It also describes a substantial worldwide burden, but the leading-cause discussion is framed around European young people; it does not establish that ranking globally. (LLM, conf=0.83)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredMonitoring trends in mental ill health requires robust epidemiological strategies and evidence, which to date have mainly been available in HICs.
“Monitoring trends in mental ill health requires robust epidemiological strategies and evidence, which to date have mainly been available in HICs.”
From The Lancet Psychiatry Commission on youth mental health (2024) · cites this paper as [32]
The main text (page unavailable) says that less available data may lead to underestimated prevalence in Eastern European countries and calls for a rigorous study of mental-health-service capacity and burden. This supports the need for better evidence, but the paper does not say that robust epidemiological strategies and evidence have mainly been available in high-income countries. (LLM, conf=0.79)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
