Study: Gen Z Less Likely to Report Excellent Mental Health

And a new study found Gen Z is less likely than older generations to report they have excellent mental health or that they are thriving and more likely to report feeling negative emotions. Researchers from Gallup and the Walton Family Foundation also found more than three quarters of Gen Z are optimistic about their future, less than half feel prepared for it. Researchers point to overall mental health declines across generations as a reason for the decrease, noting that millennials and Gen X members also reported worse mental health now versus a decade ago.
