"No Future?" Why Gen Z Feels Doomed

from The Dr. Phil Podcast

Dr. Phil unpacks Gen Z's mental health crisis—crushed by debt, climate dread, and digital despair, is this generation truly doomed or just misdiagnosed? Gen Z has been dubbed "Generation Doom"—but is that label fair or fatalistic? Dr. Phil sits down with young people who say they feel hopeless about their futures. From housing that's out of reach and careers that feel like scams, to endless online toxicity and the looming climate crisis, many are questioning the point of even trying. Is this the result of economic, environmental, and psychological pressures or has society lost touch with what young people are truly facing? Dr. Phil explores the roots of this generational burnout and asks: Is there still a path forward, or has Gen Z already given up?
