Tel-jeunes highlights a deterioration in mental health among teenage girls, particularly those in the LGBTQ+ community. These groups are identified as being especially affected by increased distress, indicating a need for better support and appropriate resources.

On the other hand, a study presented by Le Figaro points to a rising trend among young French people to consult mental health specialists. This trend suggests a growing awareness of the importance of mental health, with a generation seeming more open to addressing these issues and seeking help.
