People born in the 1990s have the worst mental health of any generation before them — and the millennials are not recovering as they age, a new study shows.
Researchers at the University of Sydney found that there has been a noticeable deterioration in the mental welfare of each successive generation since the 1950s.
The results indicate that mental health challenges not only affect younger generations more seriously but are impacting each generation that is inching toward old age, according to the study published Tuesday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
“Much of the focus to date has been on the declining mental health of school-aged children and adolescents, where we expect their mental health to eventually improve as they enter adulthood. But this study shows this pattern is changing and that it is not just the kids we need to worry about,” lead author Dr Richard Morris, senior research fellow in the University of Sydney’s Faculty of Medicine and Health, said in a statement.
“Our data not only shows a continuing decline in the mental health of the current crop of young people but continues to affect older generations today heading into their 40s and 50s. We are not seeing the rebound out of young adulthood that previous generations saw as they aged.”
The study was initiated in an effort to uncover the mystery of why the mental health of Australians has been declining since around 2010 — and whether it was an effect only seen in the “post-millennium cohort” or was an indicator of a more permanent, worrying trend.
Researchers tracked the changes in the mental health of more than 27,500 Australians from 2001 to 2020, assessing each age group during the time frame.
The youngest generations are suffering the worst mental deficiencies, the study found.
And the mental health of people born in the 1990s is not improving as they age, unlike older generations
Population-level trends in mental health have been declining in developed nations for many years, especially among young people,” the study states.
“The findings from this study highlight that it is the poorer mental health of Millennials that is driving the apparent deterioration in population-level mental health
