A proposito di questo titolo

Being a young person is hard enough, but when you add a global health crisis to the mix things are really tough.

Before COVID-19, almost half of Australians aged 18-24 were experiencing moderate to high levels of psychological distress. And this had been on the rise for years. The pandemic has only made it harder. The OECD says the COVID-19 crisis has turned into a mental health crisis for young people.

From The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, Enough is a podcast about mental health in young people, through the pandemic, and beyond.

Young people tell us, in their own words, what’s going on for them, and how they’re dealing with it.

  • Introducing: Diagnosing Murder

    Introducing: Diagnosing Murder
    Sep 25 2025

    For decades, families in Australia and overseas, have been accused of one of the worst crimes imaginable – child abuse. Diagnosing Murder is an investigative podcast about parents who've had their children taken away, sat in the dock and even done time in prison. All for something they insist they didn't do – shake their baby. Can we trust the science behind shaken baby syndrome? Or are innocent people being locked up for a crime they never committed?

  • ‘Our job is to be children’

    ‘Our job is to be children’
    Apr 20 2022

    Warning: This episode discusses abuse, mental illness and suicide.

    Abbie* can’t live with her mum because of abuse in the household. Chris says he was rejected when he came out as trans. Maddison’s* mother is too damaged to care for her.

    Many young people are affected by problems stemming from broken homes, domestic violence and other traumatic events.

    Long-term, there is a strong relationship between trauma and poor mental health but young people can bounce back with the right support.

    National charity Youth Insearch uses a peer support model to help young people like Abbie, Chris and Maddison rebuild their lives.

    Jewel and Sophie attend a three-day camp where young people draw on their own experiences of pain, hurt and triumph over adversity to help others, making them realise they are not alone.

  • ‘I just thought about food every hour of every day’

    ‘I just thought about food every hour of every day’
    Apr 13 2022

    Warning: This episode discusses eating disorders and suicide.

    Molli was convinced she had to be thin to be a dancer and started copying restrictive eating advice she was seeing on YouTube. Alex became obsessed with attaining an “ideal” muscular body after a break-up, and ended up nearly losing his life. Melani used binge-eating to cope with loneliness and became afraid to go to parties.

    Eating disorders took control of their minds until all they could think about was food.

    There remains a widespread lack of recognition that eating disorders are a mental illness. Some experts say awareness is a decade behind that of depression and anxiety.

    Eating disorders thrive in isolation and during the pandemic, calls for eating disorder lines doubled, with young people most vulnerable.

    As Molli, Alex and Melani have gone through treatment, they’ve worked at reframing their relationship with food, exercise and their bodies.

    If you need help, support is available. Call the Butterfly Foundation on 1300 224 636 or Eating Disorders Victoria on 1300 550 236. Crisis support is available 24/7 at Lifeline, call 13 11 14 or text 0477 131 114.
