The Anxious Generation Defined
Generation Z, defined as those born after 1995, is the first cohort to grow up with smartphones and social media actively influencing their lives from a young age. This technological immersion has contributed to a marked increase in anxiety, depression, and self-harm among young people, particularly since 2012. The constant availability of digital communication and social media has resulted in diminishing opportunities for real-world interactions and resilience-building experiences. As a result, the generation faces profound challenges in managing discomfort and frustration, leading to a higher prevalence of anxiety in their everyday lives.
