Healthy Habits: Gen Z Mental Health Survey

 Nearly 1 in 3 Gen Zers rated their mental health in 2022 as “bad,” according to a recent report. 

The nationwide survey found 42% of Gen Z have a diagnosed mental health condition and 1 in 5 go to therapy.

Other highlights from the report include: 

  • 1 in 4 was diagnosed with a mental health condition after the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic
  • Top diagnosed conditions: anxiety (90%), depression (78%), and ADHD (27%) 
  • 57% take medication for their mental health condition; paying an average of $44/month
  • Overwhelming majority (87%) feel comfortable talking about mental health

While Gen Z may be making strides when it comes to seeking treatment and tearing stigmas, their outlook for the future is less positive: 85% feel their generation hasn’t been set up for success, 50% don’t feel ready to join the workforce, and 66% don’t feel financially stable. 

Take a look at the full report which also includes insights how social media & future outlooks impact their overall mental health
