Generation Z teenagers have more mental health problems despite drops in smoking, drugs and antisocial behaviour Mental health problems and self-harm are on the rise among British teenagers despite significant decreases in antisocial behaviour and substance use, a long-running study has found.
Depressive symptoms among “Generation Z” – teenagers born at the turn of the millennium – are around two-thirds higher than the “millennial generation” born in the early nineties.
They are also more likely to self-harm, suffer from poor body image, skip sleep and be overweight, according to the research from University College London. The Independent
