A new study from the University of Sydney in Australia shows that people born in the 1990s have worse mental health than any previous generation, according to the British Daily Mail.

Those born in the 1990s are more likely to suffer from mental illness

Researchers tracked the mental health of nearly 30,000 adults over a decade and found that although the younger generation had the worst mental health, their emotional problems improved slightly over the course of the study, unlike older generations.

After analyzing survey responses between 2010 and 2020 to examine how the mental health of those born in each decade from the 1940s to the 1990s changed as they grew older, they then compared the mental health of each birth cohort at the same age.

The study’s lead author, Dr Richard Morris, a senior research fellow at the Faculty of Medicine and Health, found it had long been suspected that people in their 30s were more likely to develop mental illness than those in their 50s. In which scientists show the difference in birth groups.

Richard said that the mental health of younger generations of people born in the 1990s, and to some extent in the 1980s, is worse in terms of age than older generations, and they do not show the improvement that we usually see in those older generations.

Disadvantages of social media

The researchers explained that social media is primarily responsible for making participants feel as if they are not good enough, in addition to another study that found that just 90 seconds of viewing thin bodies on social media can worsen the mental health of young women.
