Why Anxiety and Depression Are Common in Young Adults

Anxiety and depression are two of the most prevalent mental health issues affecting young adults today. Life in your 20s and 30s often comes with major transitions — finishing school, starting careers, building relationships, and forming your identity. These changes can be exciting but also overwhelming.

🔴 Anxiety might show up as constant worry, racing thoughts, panic attacks, or physical symptoms like a pounding heart or muscle tension.
🔴Depression can cause persistent sadness, low energy, loss of interest in activities, and feelings of hopelessness.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek support early. Untreated anxiety and depression can impact your relationships, work, and overall quality of life.

How Therapy Helps Young Adults Manage Anxiety and Depression

Therapy offers a safe, supportive space to explore your feelings, understand what triggers your anxiety or depression, and develop practical tools to cope and heal.

At Shelly Qualtieri & Associates, Adrianna uses proven evidence-based methods tailored specifically for young adults, including:

🔵Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Helps you identify and change unhelpful thought patterns that fuel anxiety and depression.
🔵Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT): Encourages you to accept difficult feelings while committing to actions aligned with your values.
🔵Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT): Provides skills to regulate emotions and improve interpersonal relationships.

Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you — it’s about guiding you to build resilience, self- compassion, and tools that empower you to live the life you want.
