The role of trauma in GenZ mental health

[eLdavis]

In today's world, there are a lot of GenZ going through one sort of mental issue or the other as a result of a particular trauma they must have gone through in the past. Most of these trauma such as bullying, abuse, or a negative experience has lead some to develop several cases of anxiety and the likes. What do you think can be done to prevent or deal with cases like this?

Trauma deeply impacts Gen Z’s mental health, stemming from harassment, especially sexual, harassment, even date rape. While they seek support through therapy and online communities, stigma and limited access to care remain barriers, highlighting the need for comprehensive mental health strategies.

Gen Z faces trauma from various sources, pandemics, climate anxiety, online bullying, and social instability. I’ve seen how constant exposure to distressing news and digital pressure affects emotional resilience. Many seek therapy or peer support, showing a shift toward prioritizing mental health openly and early.
