The disturbing videos uploaded by Russian teenagers on YouTube and TikTok, gathered for the film Manifesto, show what growing up in dictatorship looks like and how the vicious circle of cruelty is perpetuated. The environment we live in is extremely important for mental health. However, according to numerous researches, mental health of young persons around the world is constantly deteriorating, with rising incidence of disorders like depression and anxiety. Many experts connect this with the impact of social media. In our society, mental health is still a bit of a taboo and psychological help capacities are overloaded. In this panel we learn how to seek help, detect and define our own issues, and create space where the young will not feel alone.
