Biologists would never say that. At least not any biologist worth their salt.

There’s no nurture or nature. It’s both.

Looks to be around the beginning of the 90s or late 80s.

Turning 43 this year if you take the common 1981 as the cut-off.

Good read.

Yes, let’s fight prejudice by stereotyping a whole race, gender, and sexual orientation…

Microsoft Defender will finally stop claiming Tor is malware.

That’s true. From the same study that gave the 33.7% lifetime prevalence, they have 21.3% annual prevalence (those who experienced the disorder in the 12 months before the survey.)

There was no point prevalence (right now) on the study. So maybe it would be lower?

But the study from the article with the 38% figure provides no peer reviewed research. They are a data management firm that conducted a survey.

The other stats come from actual research with stringent methodologies with a much larger sample (9000 compared to 1000 for the data firm).

I think the point is unless they had done the same survey at a population level to compare the numbers between Gen Z and the whole population, there’s no way of knowing if 38% is high or not. Never mind that the article posted here says 60%, which is completely wrong.

This article is terrible. First off, where do they get 60% from?

They link to the wrong research. The research they link to is a survey of people who already have anxiety. If you look at the research of the actual survey of the whole sample, not just those with anxiety, (here), it says that 42% have a diagnosed mental health condition, which includes an anxiety disorder amongst other disorders like depression, ADHD, and so on.

90% of the diagnosed conditions (90% of 42%) is anxiety, which would mean the actual number for only anxiety would be 37.8%.

78% of those 42% (32.76%) have depression as well. So a lot of those people with anxiety also have depression.

So the actual title should be 38% of Gen Z have an anxiety disorder. Which is only a bit higher than the total population.

According to large population-based surveys, up to 33.7% of the population are affected by an anxiety disorder during their lifetime. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4610617/
