Psychological Disorders and Social Distress Affecting Today’s Youth in Italy: The New Face of Adolescent Problems

Abstract

The author presents the contemporary age as one in which young people are affected by a sirt of nihilism. nihilism, the negation of any and all values, was descibed by Nietzsche as "the most disturbing of all guests". science and technology today have lost their social significance and are unable to provide any truth or certainty. the concepts of individual identify and freedom, as well as those of nature, ethics, religion and history, no longer give meaning to life. this brief essay argues that in Italy the situation has been exacerbated by the social-psychological phenomena occurring between 1994 and 2011, when Berlusconi was the dominant force in Italian politics.
