Why Gen Z Is So Unhappy | Freya India

Why are so many young women anxious, medicated, and adrift? Writer and cultural critic Freya India joins James Orr to explore why Generation Z is the loneliest, least happy, and most overdiagnosed generation in recent history. From the rise of therapy culture and digital commodification to the failures of feminism and the collapse of moral language, they examine how a generation has been failed by liberalism’s empty promises. Can freedom through constraint offer a way out?
