  • Attitude: Prefers "endurance, treatment, and moving on," without considering illness as part of personal identity.

  • 態度: 偏向「忍耐、治療、繼續生活」,不會將疾病視為個人身份的一部分。


Y Generation (1981-1996): The rise of chronic illnesses has led to the idea of coexisting with disease.

Y 世代(1981-1996):慢性病增加,開始產生與疾病共存的想法

  • Common Labels: Eczema, irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety, migraines—associated with urbanisation, environmental pollution, and work stress.

  • 常見標籤: 濕疹、腸躁症、焦慮症、偏頭痛——與都市化、環境污染、工作壓力相關。

  • Attitude: Positioned between the X and Z generations, Increasingly open to discussing health issues, yet constrained by medical limitations, leading to merely coexisting with disease.

  • 態度: 介於 X 與 Z 世代之間,開始願意公開討論健康議題,但屈服於醫療限制,只能與疾病共存。


Z Generation (1997-2012): Mental Health Labels as Identity

Z 世代(1997-2012):心理疾病標籤化,與身份認同綁定



ree

  • Characteristics: Highly focused on mental health, often viewing psychological conditions as part of their personal identity, and widely discussing them on social media.

  • 特徵: 高度關注心理健康,將心理疾病視為個人特徵的一部分,在社交媒體上廣泛討論。

  • Common Labels: ADHD, anxiety, autism (ASD), depression—more linked to information overload, social media influence, and societal pressure.

  • 常見標籤: ADHD、焦慮症、自閉症(ASD)、憂鬱症——更多與資訊過載、社交媒體影響、社會壓力有關。

  • Attitude: Many define themselves by their diagnoses, saying things like "I am ADHD" or "I am an anxiety patient." Some even see their condition as a source of belonging, while others use it to justify inappropriate behaviour, turning it into an excuse to evade responsibility.

  • 態度: 許多人以診斷來界定自己,例如「我是 ADHD」、「我是焦慮症患者」,部分人甚至視其為歸屬感來源,甚至合理化自己不當的行為,成為逃避責任的理由。


As times change, the progression of illness is no longer limited to physical pain but has gradually permeated emotional and mental aspects, even becoming part of personal identity.

隨著時代變遷,疾病的的深化不再只是身體上的病痛,而逐步滲透到情緒與精神層面,甚至成為個人的身份認同。
