    If more than half of a population has it, is it really a disorder? The disordered thing is clearly our society, but rather than fix that we medicate all the people having a hard time living in such a world.

    Edit: looks like this headline isn’t true.

      Article headline is bullshit.

      Their source doesn’t say 61% of Gen Z.

      It only surveyed people who already have anxiety.

      So it’s 61% of gen z with anxiety have a official anxiety diagnosis from a medical professional.

      And it’s been proven that medication doesn’t necessarily work. Over the years, medication has honestly messed me up more than it’s ever helped me, in permanent ways.

      GenX

      I mean we grew up with boomer parents. Of course we are all anxious and what not, we just had a few decades to cope with it.
