Study: Gen Z Faces Unprecedented Levels of Despair and Anxiety

Researchers have found that young people today, called Gen Z, are feeling more sad and anxious than people their age used to.

This is happening in many countries.

Unlike older generations who might have felt their worst in middle age, Gen Z seems to feel worse when they're young, and things get a little better as they get older.

Studies show this is because more young people are struggling with their mental health.

For example, fewer Gen Z members rate their mental health as excellent compared to when Millennials were the same age.

Also, more young men and women are reporting poor mental health compared to the past.
