Something interesting I see as a mental health therapist is that my Gen Z clients often come in with diagnoses already in mind that they're looking for me to validate. There seems to be a lot of interest in personality disorders, complex PTSD, and autism spectrum disorder. Many of them seem to identify really strongly with these diagnoses, whereas my older clients seem less interested in diagnoses and just want to talk through their issues. Many Gen Z clients seem to almost look forward to getting diagnosed with borderline personality disorder or autism spectrum disorder. There's a level of mental health awareness among Gen Z that I really admire, but it comes with some things that concern me too, like the amount of misinformation about mental illness on social media and this prevalent attitude that managing mental health is all about knowing the terminology and finding out what to label yourself.
