Why is today' s youth struggling with depression and anxiety

 

Smile on face| pain in head 

🕛 Time to think about it 

The next question that pops up in my mind is why is today’s youth struggling so deeply?

Why are so many young people today facing anxiety attacks, depression, and emotional breakdowns❓

Has life really become harder for this generation❓

Or are we just not as strong as previous generations think they were❓

Many people who have never experienced anxiety or depression often say things like

“They just want attention.”

“In our teenage years, we handled stress without complaining.”

“She looks strong, she can manage it.”

But here’s my question ❓

Why do we judge without understanding❓

We rarely stop to ask

What are they actually going through❓

What is the real cause behind their anxiety❓

Who or what is making them feel this way❓

Instead of judging, why can’t we try to  understanding❓

Instead of giving instant advice, why can’t we first listen❓

As a Gen Z myself, I sometimes wonder why so many people of  my age and even younger than me  are silently struggling.

 What has changed❓

Is it pressure❓

 Expectations?❓

Social media❓

Fear of failure❓

Loneliness❓

So in this blog series, we will try to explore

What today’s youth are really suffering from

Why anxiety attacks and depression are becoming common

How we can understand their emotions better

And most importantly, how we can respond with empathy instead of judgment....
