However, most people don’t pay attention to it. A person’s physical and mental health are interconnected. A negative effect results from ignoring one aspect while ignoring the other. This problem affects everyone, from the elderly to school-going children. Instead of hiding this problem, we should address it. In any case, the situation may worsen in the future.

According to survey findings, work is the biggest stressor for Millennials, while relationships and breakups are the biggest stressor for Generation Z.
