Millennials range in age from 18 to 34, and represent a generation of people who are true multitaskers. But this results in difficult issues that can play into the health of millennials. This generation is cognitively overloaded with information and suffering from what is called ambition addiction and choice-overload, all of which results in high levels of stress. They may appear to have less patience than past generations and be more self-focused, wherein they do not want social control and obligations from binding relationships. They typically believe in taking independent decisions and want to take charge of the adult levels of responsibilities only when they feel the need to it. They spent most of their time on networking in a virtual world. They have poor sleeping habits and get fewer of hours of sleep than generations past. With increasing stress levels, irritability and anger are rampant. About 19% of millennials suffer from depression and anxiety. They tend to take this stress out on family and friends. It is also reasonable to assume that these stress levels place millennials right in the middle of destructive health issues.
