A recent report suggests that Gen Z are the most stressed demographic and many have turned to social media sharing their stories and struggles.

Seventy percent of Gen Z said anxiety and depression are significant problems among their peers, according to the American Psychological Association (APA), and a McKinsey Insights report revealed that 25% of Gen Z report experiencing emotional distress – double the levels of older generations.

Some are turning to social media to share their stories and offer advice.

Entrepreneur De'arra Taylor tweeted about the need to protect your mental health and take it seriously. She also stressed being kind to everyone and knowing that you never know what someone could be battling.
