A STUDY ON GEN - Z AND THE BATTLE FOR MENTAL WELL-BEING IN THE MODERN WORLD

Abstract

It is necessary to study Generation Z, one of the most digitalized generations, and their mental health. This essay examines the link between social media use and stress levels and the psychological state of Gen Z. Using various techniques such as correlation, regression, and ANOVA, the study measures the interaction between methods of digital communication, mental health stigma, and family relations and their impacts on an individual’s psychological state. It also explores appropriate coping strategies including the use of mental health apps and online support systems. This essay will utilize a wide-ranging survey as well as primary data collection to propose the most beneficial measures for the mental health of Gen Z. Finally, it concludes with proposals on how educators, mental health professionals, and policymakers can meet the needs of this generation and the new challenges posed by resilience building.
