Abstract: The article focuses on the mental health challenges faced by Generation Z (those born between 1997 and 2012), highlighting widespread anxiety linked to economic uncertainty, social media influence, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Reports indicate that young people in this group experience higher rates of mental health disorders than previous generations, with loneliness and career insecurity exacerbated by concerns about artificial intelligence. Therapists note that Gen Z often arrives in therapy with self-diagnoses influenced by online sources and AI, underscoring the need for mental health support that is accessible, culturally aware, and responsive to their unique experiences. Despite these challenges, Gen Z demonstrates emotional literacy and openness about mental health, seeking therapy as a space for understanding and connection beyond digital interactions.
