Millennials (born approximately 1981–1996) are often referred to as the “sandwich generation,” balancing careers, relationships, parenting, and financial pressures—sometimes all at once.

Key Mental Health Stressors

• Career pressure and job instability
• Financial stress, student debt, and housing costs
• Parenting responsibilities and work-life imbalance
• Societal expectations to “have it all together”
  
  

According to a Deloitte Global Millennial Survey, nearly 50% of millennials report feeling stressed or anxious most of the time, with burnout being one of the most common mental health challenges.

Technology and Mental Wellbeing

Unlike Gen Z, millennials witnessed life before and after smartphones. While technology offers convenience, constant connectivity often blurs boundaries between work and personal life, contributing to chronic stress and emotional exhaustion.

Millennials are more likely to:

• Seek professional therapy or counseling
• Use wellness practices such as mindfulness, fitness, and journaling
• Delay help-seeking due to guilt, time constraints, or stigma
  
  

This generation benefits most from flexible, integrated mental health solutions that fit into demanding schedules.
