There is rather a lot going on at the moment, what with climate change, cost-of-living crises, geopolitical instability and so on. Not only has it been going on for quite some time, but also, the end of it does not seem to be nigh. And so, worldwide, it is affecting the mental health and wellbeing of many. However, it does seem to be hitting some a little more than others, especially those that aren’t as secure and positive about the outcomes of all these concerns or who have not yet weathered that many crises. In short, it appears to be disproportionately affecting the younger generations.
