Many adolescents who are living in a natural disaster or epidemic-prone area can be more vulnerable to mental distress and illness. A huge number of people among these vulnerable adolescents are suffering from mental illnesses like depression. Still, suicide is one of the main causes of death among the 15-to 29-year-old age group.

In this situation, we all need to take an appropriate step for proper prevention. We have to raise awareness in our society. Parents and teachers need to help the young generation to build life skills. Adolescents need to learn how to cope with reality. They have to face everyday challenges at home as well as at school. The proper initiative should be taken so that they can reach experts for any psychological support. Especially after this pandemic period, we all need to be concern about adolescent mental health.
