The Consequences of Perfectionism in Adolescence

The relationship between perfectionism and increased depression and anxiety symptoms can be difficult to define.​ It is unclear whether there is a causal relationship or just correlation between perfectionism and mental health symptoms.​ This study investigates the relationship between perfectionism and adolescence to explore the possibility of causation.​ Based on previous research, the hypothesis suggests that perfectionism may hinder adolescents connection to their keys to success.​ While some studies have shown a correlation between perfectionism and depression or anxiety. There is not enough evidence to prove causation.
