Soul Sustenance - GenZ and Anxiety

 A new survey by healthcare experts Harmony Healthcare IT is shedding light on how Gen Z copes with anxiety. It asked nearly 1,000 Gen Zers who self-identified as having anxiety about how they cope, and found that over 1 in 3 say their parents aren’t sympathetic to their struggles at all. 

Why it matters:

Gen Z is widely considered one of the most anxious generations, and the numbers back it up:

  • 43% cite panic attacks monthly or more
  • 1 in 4 are planning on skipping some holiday events due to anxiety
  • 1 in 3 are taking medication, and of those 23% worry about affording it

With family-related events causing 2 in 5 anxiety around the holidays, families can work to help their struggling Gen Zers. Doing self-care activities with them like walking or creative activities can help. 

Take a look at the full report to see how Gen Zers are coping (or not), and what worries them the most in 2023.
