In virtually every way that can be measured, Gen Z’s mental health is worse than that of previous generations [...] What’s gone wrong?
Answer: Shit's bad and getting worse (especially for younger generations) while the old & rich people in charge twiddle their thumbs because "I got mine, fuck you." Any other questions?
I definitely wouldn't conclude that anything the mental health industry did or didn't do has anything to do with the mental health of youth today; given current circumstances the kids who are alright are the abnormal ones.
