Anxiety & Depression: are what I see most commonly in my practice. Panic disorder and social anxiety seem to be relatively common, and many young adults continue to struggle with ADHD as they move through college and begin careers. Disorders like Schizophrenia, while they tend to occur in the 20's, are much more rare.
