Interview with researcher Dr. Rocío González in the Punto Uno newspaper of the Province of Salta about the report of the Observatory of Human Development and Vulnerability of the Universidad Austral which reveals alarming data on the mental health of adolescents and young adults in Argentina. The study, led by researchers Dr. González and Dr. Victoria Bein, exposes a double emergency that demands urgent attention from society and policymakers.

According to the report, in 2023, suicide became the leading cause of death among women aged 10 to 19 in Argentina for the first time, surpassing cancer and accidents. Furthermore, suicides among young adults aged 20 to 29 reached a record high, with 1.030 cases registered. These figures reflect a silent crisis that demands urgent responses in mental health and emotional support.
