Depression among the young at alarming level

Check it out: Depression among the young at alarming level, says charity | Society | The Guardian Here's a quote to get you into it: "the majority of young people had a generally positive outlook on life. ... however, ... the serious concerns of the 'core' of unhappy people under the age of 25 'need to be addressed'.... failing to take the issue seriously 'would be storing up big problems for the future'.
Concerns about the mental health and wellbeing of young people have risen sharply following reports about the emotional fragility of the current generation of children and teenagers, and problems around violence and knife crime."
The interesting thing is that this seems to be linked in the article to the figure that "27% said their lives had no purpose.". Could this be further evidence that nihilism is bad for us? Link that, then, with Matthew Parris's article about how God seems to be good for society (here).Further comment here.
