Mental Health Issues in Gen-Z
When asked about their current mental health or well-being only 15% of Gen Z claim it to be excellent. Members of Gen Z are much more likely to report experiencing negative emotions such as stress, anxiety and loneliness. Too many young people lack the support they need, due to fear of discussing concerns, not being taken seriously, and being misunderstood among other issues such as lack of permission to access care or affordable care. Still, 79% of Gen Z believe their age group is best at addressing mental health. Psychologist Arthur Evans says “This generation may be more tuned in to recognizing issues with their mental health than older generations”.
