    I found his trend study here,( German pdf) His sample was around 2K youngster , and his findings have ca. 2% error margin iiuc. He’s been publishing regularly since corona epidemic according to his website. What called my attention was especially this worrisome quote, which might explain what’s going on:

    " The proportion of young people who say they need psychological support has also reached a new peak of 29 percent. Women, at 34 percent, and students, at 32 percent, are particularly affected by this psychological strain. Among young Germans without a job, 42 percent likewise rely on psychological support services."

    I’m not sure how this trend compares to other ( European) countries, but I remember reading similar trends in several countries for years since the Corona epidemic. These studies require much more serious attention, more studies and rapid & adequate solutions imo.
