Global Study Finds Significant Mental Health Gap Between Indian Youth and Older Adults

The Global Mind Health 2025 report by Sapien Labs reveals a significant mental health gap between India's young adults (18-34) and older adults (55+). Indian youth scored 33 on the Mind Health Quotient (MHQ), ranking 60th among 84 countries, indicating distress, while older adults scored 96, reflecting better mental well-being. Factors such as modern lifestyle, early screen exposure, diet, and weakening family ties contribute to this decline, highlighting a growing generational mental health challenge in India.
