According to a new survey by the Kaiser Family Fund and CNN, American youth are struggling with their mental health. The research, which was based on a poll of more than 2,000 American adults, finds that young adults between the ages of 18 and 29 are more likely to report a range of mental health issues than those aged 30 and older.
