Abstract

Generation Z includes individuals born between the year 1995 to 2012. These individuals are experiencing a bad mental state and this is a sign of intense concern. The spike in mental health issues is a futuristic danger to mankind. This article emphasizes on the increasing mental health issues caused due to academic pressure, peer pressure, financial issues and social media. Mental health started deteriorating more after the covid-19 pandemic as people started experiencing isolation, emotional fragility and stress. These situations raise a serious concern regarding the long term mental and physical health of this generation. Now, it's high time and we need to take this issue seriously and find a rational and logical solution to this problem. The mental health resources should be put into use and the individuals should feel comfortable enough in expressing their issues. We also need to assess the situations and experiences Gen Z faces to understand their conditions better. This article calls for the development of strategies and resilience to face these pressing challenges.
