Anxiety Information - Young employees have high anxiety

A study of employees aged 20 to 29 has found a "tremendous" jump in anxiety, and the youngest workers were most depressed.

Generation X and the Millennials are reporting the highest rates of both depression and anxiety, said the study by Canadian EAP provider Warren-Shepell.

The company reviewed the cases of 123,000 employees in more than 2,500 companies who used their company's EAP to help with emotional disorders. They report being concerned and puzzled by the results. "Young people in general are not supposed to be burdened with depression and anxiety," said Warren-Shepell VP Gerry Smith, "unless we can point to a generation that has experienced a major social upheaval like the Great Depression or a major war." The report, Workplace Mental Health Indicators: An EAP's Perspective, notes that the rise in anxiety may be due to changes in the workplace, increases in work hours and recent world events such as terrorism and "corporate improprieties" that have made young people feel less secure at work.
