Let's gather our thoughts

Previous research reports have found that during similar viral outbreaks, people are more likely to experience mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and traumatic stress. Individuals in various parts of the world have reported higher levels of stress, anger, anxiety, and depression as a result of the recent COVID-19 pandemic.

Young adults have faced a variety of pandemic-related consequences, such as university closures and lost income, which may have contributed to their poor mental health. During the pandemic, a higher-than-average proportion of young adults (ages 18-24) experience anxiety and/or depressive symptoms (56% ). Young adults are more likely than other adults to report substance use (25% vs. 13%) and suicidal thoughts (26% vs. 11%). Which is really alarming. Do you agree with this survey?

I have no basis in fact upon which to form a belief as to the truth or falsity of the results of this survey.

well, they made evidence but I do have doubts as well, so it's either if I believe or not.

What I doubt about the statistics is that they really provide numbers. Like, how did they do it? Are they sure about it? that's what gets on my mind lately. I'll try not to be a fool.

I try, though it is sometimes difficult, to refrain from judging a studies numbers unless I have have read the study myself and understand the methodology, the conclusions and how they arrived at those conclusions. Some I can understand, some I cannot.
