Often called the “anxious generation,” today’s young adults and students are leading the charge in open conversations about mental health—something previous generations often avoided. While stigma still exists, this generation is breaking barriers and choosing honesty over silence. Even though fewer than half of adults and under 20% of young people with mental health conditions receive the care they need, hope remains strong. With growing awareness and community support, we’re getting closer to a future where mental health care is a right, not a rarity.
