"Harvard Report Reveals Alarming Rise in Depression and Anxiety Among Gen Z Young Adults"

A report from Harvard University reveals that young adults in the United States are experiencing depression and anxiety at twice the rate of teenagers, with over half reporting a lack of purpose or meaning in their lives. The study, based on a national survey, found that 29% of young adults experienced depression compared to 15% of teens, while 36% reported anxiety compared to 18% of teens. Financial worries, pressure to achieve, loneliness, and a sense of not mattering to others were identified as contributing factors. The report emphasizes the need for increased support and engagement for young adults during this precarious stage of development.
