Gen Z faces a loneliness epidemic, and it's so real in the body that it shows under anesthesia. Even when you're unconscious, the effects on your mental health are revealed.

Dr. Kaveh video dives into the specific ways that the loneliness epidemic is affecting Generation Z and how this demographic experiences and copes with these issues differently from older generations.

Loneliness is a universal experience, but reports indicate that Gen Z—those born between the mid-1990s and early 2010s—are feeling it more intensely than their predecessors. Our video explores the reasons behind this unique generational trend, focusing on significant societal and environmental influences. Notably, we'll examine the profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and how digital communication, especially social media, has been both a blessing and a curse for Gen Z.

The coping mechanisms Generation Z employs to manage loneliness are diverse, yet not all of them are constructive. We delve into the phenomenon of increased sleep aid use among Gen Z, a concerning response to insomnia often linked to depression and anxiety. This trend, combined with escalating reports of substance use disorder, provides a sobering look at the severity of the loneliness epidemic in this age group.

This video also delves into how loneliness can intensify mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety, and contribute to the development of substance use disorders. It's critical to understand and address these issues within Gen Z, not just for their immediate wellbeing but also because of the broader implications for public health.

One lesser-known consequence is how these mental health conditions can manifest during anesthesia for surgery and throughout the recovery process. We discuss how loneliness-induced mental health issues can complicate anesthetic management, influence postoperative pain and discomfort, and potentially hinder recovery. This connection further underscores the vital need for early intervention and the holistic care of patients.

Social media's role in this loneliness epidemic is significant, given Gen Z's digital fluency. While it's a valuable tool for maintaining connections, especially during pandemic restrictions, it can also amplify feelings of isolation and loneliness. We address the paradoxical nature of this technology, providing insights into its potential benefits and pitfalls.

With this video, we hope to generate understanding, promote dialogue, and encourage more research into the effects of loneliness on Generation Z's mental health. It's only through acknowledging these issues and working to address them that we can support Gen Z in navigating these challenging times.

Finally, we hope that this video helps everyone, regardless of generation, recognize the signs of loneliness and its associated mental health issues, encouraging more conversations, support, and treatment for those affected.
