Nearly two thirds of British teenagers will suffer from a mental health condition or behavioural disorder by 2030.
A report by Zurich Insurance found that having a mental health problem had already become the norm for young people aged between 15 and 19. Its estimates suggest that 51pc of people in this age bracket have a mental or behavioural disorder such as anxiety, depression or ADHD.
