Queen Máxima is committed to the mental health of young people
Queen Máxima, 50, wants to offer a new point of contact for young people with mental health problems and is therefore officially establishing a new foundation called MIND Us on March 30, 2022. An initiative that cannot be postponed, if you read the numbers. According to the Dutch royal family, “every seventh young person suffers from depressive thoughts and every third person is under pressure to perform.” 75% of mental health problems appear before age 25.
King William Alexander’s wife, 54, wants to free those affected by social stigmatization. She probably recognized from her painful experience how important it is to break the taboo on the subject. Her sister Inés Zorreguieta, † 33, struggled with psychological problems and eventually took her own life in June 2016. In a television interview with journalist Matthijs van Nieuwkerk, 61, Máxima explained in May 2021 that Inés had suffered of depression and a personality disorder and had “been to the hospital a few times” because of it. But she apparently did not receive her professional help that could have saved her. Now her older sister is trying to offer those affected a reliable point of contact, at least in the Netherlands.
