A lot of people gained weight or started drinking or smoking too much during the pandemic. Though home gym gear was also sold out, so that seems to have been a bi-modal issue. Everyone either got more fit or got more fat.

There’s an interesting chart in the source article (imho) but unfortunately it doesn’t show up in the link preview :)

These Gen Zs who keep talking about mental health have no idea what mental health is.
Feeling alone, depressed, like a loser etc are legitimately good feelings to have as long as you have a reason to feel that way.
Gen Zs think a person with good mental health will never feel sorrow. It's not like that.
Also, how can your resolution be "I'll work on my mental health?"
You just read more books, look at other people's sorrows, read inspirational stories, spend time with your family, put relationship above "good sex", work on your relationships rather than just quitting someone saying he or she is "toxic"... Get a promotion at work, run a mile and then more, eat healthy, develop hobbies, have goals and stay busy and you'd be fine.
But Gen Zs wouldn't do any of that... They would just work on their mental health. And then they'll come online and talk about trans rights in a discussion forum about debt ceiling... Why? Because that's all they know to talk about.

It’s the class-war, perpetrated by Forbes and their ilk, that have driven mental health to the breaking point.
Everyone knows it too and the ruling-classes are terrified.
