Here are 25 Mental Health terms that are currently buzzing among Gen Z: 1. Anxiety Disorders: People with anxiety disorders will respond to certain objects or situations with fear and fear, characterized by physical symptoms such as rapid heartbeat and cold sweat. If the response is inappropriate, cannot be controlled, or interferes with daily life, it could be an anxiety disorder, such as generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, or specific phobia. 2. Mood Disorders (Affective): This is often called affective disorder. Involves persistent feelings of sadness or periods of excessive joy, or swings from extreme happiness to extreme sadness. The common ones are depression, bipolar disorder, and cyclothymic disorder. 3. Psychotic Disorders: Psychotic disorders involve distorted consciousness and thinking. Two common symptoms are hallucinations (experiencing images or sounds that are not real, for example hearing voices that don't exist) and delusions (false beliefs that are considered true even though there is evidence to the contrary). For example schizophrenia. 4. Antisocial: This doesn't mean they are anti-social media, but antisocial people have traits that make them like to break rules and don't care about other people's feelings. So, it's like anti-social rules. 5. Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD): Well, OCD is like having thoughts that keep disturbing you, then to deal with them, this person likes to carry out certain rituals or routines. For example, those who are afraid of germs always wash their hands. 6. Histrionics: This histrionic person seems to really like being the center of attention. They use dramatization, excessive emotional expression, so that other people focus on them. Drama queen alert! 7. Schizoid: This is the opposite of histrionics. Schizoid people prefer to be alone, not very interested in social interaction. So, they enjoy their own activities more. 8. Paranoid: So paranoid people have a tendency to always feel suspected or betrayed for no apparent reason. They are wary and have difficulty trusting people. 9. Anorexia Nervosa: Anorexia is about excessive fear of being overweight, to the point that people eat very little. Seriously, they can feel fat even though they're not. 10. Bulimia Nervosa: This is the opposite of anorexia. People with bulimia will eat a lot in a short time, then feel guilty, so try ways to reduce weight, for example vomiting food. 11. Impulse Control Disorders and Addictions: People with impulse control disorders cannot resist the temptation to carry out actions that could be harmful to them or others. For example, pyromania (setting fires), kleptomania (stealing), or addiction to alcohol and drugs. 12. Personality Disorders: People with personality disorders have extreme, irreversible personality traits that cause problems in everyday life. For example, antisocial, obsessive-compulsive, histrionic, schizoid and paranoid personality disorders. 13. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD):

People with OCD are constantly confronted with thoughts or fears that make them carry out certain rituals or routines. Intrusive thoughts are called obsessions, and the rituals are called compulsions. For example, people who are afraid of germs and constantly wash their hands. 14. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): PTSD can appear after a traumatic event, such as sexual abuse, unexpected death, or natural disaster. People with PTSD often have frightening thoughts and memories and have difficulty feeling emotions. 15. FOMO FOMO means: Fear of Missing Out is like fear of missing out, guys! So, if you are curious about news, trends, or things that are currently popular, and are afraid of missing out, that's called FOMO. Sometimes this makes us jealous of other people who look like they are having fun or have a cooler life. 16. JOMO (The Joy of Missing Out): "JOMO" is an abbreviation for Joy of Missing Out. This is the opposite of FOMO. JOMO is the pleasure or satisfaction a person experiences by choosing to stay away from social events or activities and instead embrace the joy of being alone or engaging in simpler, more relaxed activities. JOMO is about finding contentment in the moment and appreciating the benefits of not being constantly involved in every social or cultural happening. 17. Languishing Languishing is like being stuck, I see. You feel like you can't get anything positive from the current situation. So, it feels like life has no meaning and you lose your enthusiasm. Some other signs include difficulty focusing, overthinking and anxiety about the future. 18. Textiety Textiety That's when you're anxious or uneasy because you haven't received or sent a short message. For example, if you don't reply to your chat, it could make you restless! 19. Duck Syndrome Duck Syndrome is like pretending to be cool, but actually dealing with a lot of problems. Like a duck that is calm on the surface, but under water is working hard. So, sometimes we pretend to be fine so we don't look defeated. 20. Gaslighting Gaslighting is like boss-style manipulation, guys! People who gaslight you will make you confused with yourself, I see. The goal is to make him appear powerful and able to control you. Not very healthy, right? 21. Dissociative Disorders: People with this disorder experience severe disturbances or changes in memory, consciousness, identity, and general awareness of themselves and their surroundings. Usually related to extraordinary stress, for example a traumatic event or disaster experienced or witnessed by the person. For example, dissociative identity disorder, which used to be called multiple personality disorder, or depersonalization disorder. 22. Factitious Disorders: This is a condition where someone deliberately creates or complains about physical and/or emotional symptoms to appear like a patient who needs help. In essence, pretend to be sick or in trouble. 23. Sexual and Gender Disorders: These include disorders that affect sexual desire, performance, and sexual behavior. Sexual dysfunction, gender identity disorder, and paraphilia are examples of sexual and gender disorders. 24. Somatic Symptom Disorders (Previously called Psychosomatic Disorders): People with this disorder experience physical symptoms of illness or pain with excessive and inappropriate levels of anxiety, even though doctors have found no medical cause for the symptoms. 25. Tic Disorder: People with tic disorders make sounds or body movements that are involuntary, fast, sudden, and/or uncontrollable. (Involuntary sounds are called vocal tics.) Tourette's syndrome is an example of a tic disorder. Disclaimer:
