Researchers at the University of Sydney found that there has been a noticeable deterioration in the mental welfare of each successive generation since the 1950s.
"Much of the focus to date has been on the declining mental health of school-aged children and adolescents, where we expect their mental health to eventually improve as they enter adulthood. But this study shows this pattern is changing and that it is not just the kids we need to worry about," lead author Dr Richard Morris, senior research fellow in the University of Sydney's Faculty of Medicine and Health, said in a statement.
Researchers tracked the changes in the mental health of more than 27,500 Australians from 2001 to 2020, assessing each age group during the time frame.
