What’s the biggest mental health challenge facing Gen Z?

[Flower]

For me, one big mental health issue Gen Z is facing is pressure. Pressure to succeed fast, look perfect online, and have life figured out early. Social media is not also helping matters at all. Majority are faking it on social media and you are here trying to meet up with their standards. That kind of pressure is predominant amongst the Gen Z.

One of the biggest mental health challenges for Gen Z is chronic stress and anxiety driven by constant digital exposure, social comparison, and economic uncertainty. The mix of online pressure, fear of missing out, fragmented attention, and real-world instability creates prolonged emotional strain that makes coping harder over time.
