While Millennials (Gen Y) show a significant decline in mental health, particularly those born in the 1990s, Gen Z often reports the highest current rates of anxiety, depression, and stress, driven by factors like social media, economic uncertainty, and global events, though researchers note this vulnerability may not improve with age as seen in prior cohorts, making both generations a focus for mental health concerns.
The American Psychological Association (APA) states that Gen Z individuals are more likely to report mental health concerns (eg, depression and anxiety) than previous generations [8]. In a 2022 survey of 1055 Gen Z adults, 1 out of 4 reported having more bad days than good within a 1-month time frame.

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

Age and generation both matter for happiness. As between generations, those born before 1965 (Boomers and their predecessors) have life evaluations about one-quarter of a point higher than those born after 1980 (Millennials and Gen Z).

While COVID-19 caused significant deaths in recent years, CVD has consistently held the top spot for decades, with increases seen globally, especially in younger populations.
It is a known fact that lifespan increases with each generation. For baby boomers, the average life expectancy is 70 years, for Gen X its 85, and newer generations like Gen Z and Alpha will likely exceed the 100-year mark.
