The Mental State Of The World Report 2024
"The Mental State of the World Report for 2024 by Sapien Labs highlights concerning trends in global mental health. It reveals that younger generations continue to experience a decline in mental well-being, with no recovery from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The report uses the Mind Health Quotient (MHQ) to measure mental health and well-being, based on data from over 1 million participants across 82 countries.
Key findings include:
- Younger adults (18-34) report significantly lower MHQ scores compared to older adults (55+).
- Challenges like emotional regulation, social interactions, and cognitive functions are more prevalent in younger generations.
- Factors such as smartphone use, social disconnection, and ultra-processed food consumption are identified as contributors to this decline.
