September 28, 2019 – When compared to the national population, millennials are more affected by behavioral health conditions than physical, with the highest increases shown in rates of major depression and hyperactivity. “While we may be seeing moderate diagnosis impact across all generations for previously stigmatized behavioral health conditions, millennials are seeing higher growth in prevalence than either Gen X or baby boomers,” said Nelson. “Millennials are impacting not only their immediate health, but also their long-term health by not seeking preventative care,” said Nelson. “I would encourage all millennials to find and regularly consult a primary care provider if they do not already. You never know when you may need care, and many conditions can be treated more efficiently, and at a more affordable price, if brought to a physician’s attention early on.”Serani agrees, noting that the biggest barrier she experiences with millennials is that they can’t afford to pay for psychotherapy. “They aren’t commanding the kind of salaries generations ago earned, and it just costs more to live now than compared to years ago,” she said. “Research also suggests that ‘cause’ motivates millennials more than ‘loyalty.’ Often, millennials don’t cultivate relationships with health professionals, which would lead to more streamlined care and consistent well-being.”She also encourages millennials to practice self-care.“Self-care is a learned behavior. It isn’t something that just occurs. [Millennials should] focus on [incorporating] self-care skills like mindfulness, good eating, healthy sleep, and exercise into their life not for the short run, but as a long-term commitment,” she said.
