“Millennials feel pressure to perfect themselves partly out of social media use that leads them to compare themselves to others,” said Thomas Curran, the study’s lead author and a lecturer in the Center for Motivation and Health Behavior Change at the University of Bath in England. He added that this theory hasn’t been tested and would require further research. “Meritocracy places a strong need for young people to strive, perform and achieve,” he said. They have “increasingly unrealistic educational and professional expectations for themselves.”

New data indicates that perfectionism, especially when influenced by social media, has increased by 33 percent since 1989.

This international multisite incidence study estimates the incidence of psychotic disorders across 17 catchment areas in 6 countries and examines the variance between catchment areas by putative environmental risk factors.
