The individual was repeatedly apprehended under the Mental Health Act due to severe self-harm and suicide attempts.

Sociologist Jonathan Haidt presents data showing a massive spike in anxiety, depression, and self-harm among Gen Z, particularly girls, starting around 2009. He attributes this trend to the introduction of social media in middle school. Haidt argues that this generation never learned to deal with "ordinary everyday stress," leading to the current "cancel culture" and mental health crisis on college campuses.
