"Deaths of despair" are also on the rise.
More millennials are also dying "deaths of despair," or deaths related to drugs, alcohol, and suicide, Jamie Ducharme reported for Time in June, citing a report by the public-health groups Trust for America's Health and Well Being Trust.

While these deaths have increased across all ages in the past 10 years, they've increased the most among younger Americans, Ducharme said. They accounted for the deaths of about 36,000 American millennials in 2017 alone, according to the report. Drug overdoses were the most common cause of death.


Hey look! Even if you legalize drugs, millennials will just OD on them because /depression

Millennials don't always have someone to share their mental burdens with they're less likely to have social support than other generations, as they're marrying later and less connected to political or religious communities, according to Ducharme.

In fact, YouGov called millennials "the loneliest generation" based on a survey that polled 1,254 US adults. It found that millennials were more likely to feel lonely than previous generations. Of survey respondents, 30% of millennials said they always or often felt lonely, compared with 20% of Generation X and 15% of boomers.

Oh noes~ Choosing not to marry or go to church because "archaic religion-is-fake" or "I don't want to be tied down through marriage/kids" is all on them.

More millennials also reported in the survey that they had no acquaintances, friends, close friends, or best friends.
Should probably drop the whole "CANCEL CULTURE/You're CANCELED!!" sthick just because someone says something "offensive" or has a differing political opinion than you.

"Mental health is becoming the next frontier of diversity and inclusion, and employees want their companies to address it," the authors wrote.

Well, this is part of the problem. Pushing the burden onto others to solve your issues is the expectation of sheltering from the real world.
