  • As we enter the new decade, 20 minutes devotes a special feature to the 2020s, new crazy years.
  • While in 2016, the WHO estimated that in 2020 one in five people would be affected, at least once in their life, by a mental disorder, Ipsos puts madness at the heart of its large study “Trend Obs 2020”.
  • Test your knowledge of mental health before tackling the world of tomorrow.

A hundred years later, the “roaring twenties” are coming back to the tips of their noses. Roaring twenties [les années 1920 rugissantes], driven by a creative euphoria and an almost fanatic belief in the industrial revolution, we are entering the “worrying twenties” [les années 2020 inquiétantes], as the big Ipsos study called “Trend Obs 2020”. The whole week, 20 minutes explore the future relatives who await us by 2030.

On the menu for the decade: disenchantment, existential distress and fantasy of the apocalypse. In this episode, 20 minutes looks at the numbers of mental illnesses around the world.

The 2020 decade plunges into madness. In 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that in 2020,
one in five people in the world would be affected, at least once in his life, by a mental disorder (depression, anorexia, schizophrenia, obsessive compulsive disorder …). The hourglass is draining and the reality does not seem to contradict the forecasts of the WHO.
The Trend Obs 2020 study, presented by Ipsos in November, has rightly focused on mental illnesses.

“Joker”, symptom of a world going crazy

“The trend-setters [recrutés par l’entreprise de sondage français dans cinq ou six pays] describe a paradoxical world, which gives too much contradictory information, and the fear of going crazy, “describes Thibaut Nguyen, director of the Trends and Prospective department at Ipsos. According to him, the film Joker by Todd Phillips, released in early October, is a manifestation of the pathology. “It’s the symptom of a world going crazy and the answer is going crazy, going over the line, being in
civil disobedience, in transgression and to let all his impulses be expressed, whether magnificent or horrible, “analyzes the prospectivist.

Before tackling the next decade of madness, test your knowledge of the health of our society.
