It became known that the demand for psychologists among teenagers has increased by 100 times

The proportion of teenagers who turn to psychologists increased 119 times from 2021 to 2025. This is evidenced by the results of a study conducted by analysts of the online therapy service Yasno, which I reviewed."Газета.Ru ".

If in 2021, teenagers under the age of 18 accounted for only 0.02% of psychologists' clients, by 2025 their share had grown to 2.38%, which is 119 times more. An even more pronounced increase is observed among young people aged 18-24: over the same period, their share increased from 19% to 33%.

Representatives of these age groups most often complain about stress, unstable self-esteem, as well as regular bouts of anxiety and fear.

Millennials (25-44 years old) remain the main customer group, although their share is gradually decreasing. In 2021, the age of 25-34 accounted for 57% of referrals, and now it is 46%.

The share of the 35-44-year-old group decreased from 19% to 14%. Their most frequent requests include chronic stress, self-esteem issues, and difficulties in a relationship with a partner.

People over 45 (boomers) they began to turn to psychologists a little more often: if in 2021 their share was 3.7%, then in 2025 it was 3.8%. The main problems that boomers come to a specialist with are stress, conflicts in a couple, and unstable self—esteem.

Statistics show a steady increase in the share of young customers: teenagers under 18 and people aged 18-24. At the same time, the share of millennials (25-44 years old) is gradually decreasing, and there is a small but steady increase among customers over the age of 45.

It is noteworthy that the key queries remain common to all age groups — stress, relationship difficulties, and self-esteem issues are leading regardless of generation.
