Is Therapy the Need of The Hour for This Generation?


The generation that’s been brought up with the internet has finally done something that generations before could not do — start a meaningful conversation around mental health. But is that just because this generation is more approachable or because this generation, more than any, needs therapy? The answer is a lot more complex than the question. How do you suggest that a generation that went through a literal war didn’t depression therapy as much as this generation does? Or the generation that lived through the great depression? While there are substantial cases to be built for all the generations, the bottom line is that this generation has more access to therapy than the older ones. This also means that the new generation sees mental health problems and tries to address them, instead of suppressing them like they did in the older days.

In today’s hyper competitive, cutthroat, limited opportunities world, the pressures are unsurmountable on the kids. What also plays an important role is the gap in acceptance level of mental health between the kids and their parents. The unspoken, unaddressed discomfort when it comes to addressing issues related to mental health can have a telling impact on not just the relationship between the kid and the parent, but also the kid’s external relationships, and the relationship with themselves. Stress management therapy has become a huge part of many of the kids because the expectations to perform both on a professional and personal levels are huge. While we’ll never really answer which generation needed therapy the most, the fact of the matter is that this generation needs it. And for their betterment, they have tools to get better. So, if you are someone who has been on the fence about therapy, it’s time you jump to this side.

But we have been bestowed with the ability to face these situations and find a solution for these problems on day to day basis. This is how life works after all.
