Do you procrastinate? 🤔 People procrastinate for different reasons. People from differing generations often clash due to misunderstandings with procrastination. Some older generations perceive procrastination as a sign that people are lazy or don’t care. However many times procrastination is the result of anxiety.👩🏽🏫 School anxiety is a common cause of procrastination and people hesitate to make decisions because they ruminate about the outcome.📚 Also younger generations now face enormous student debt that many generations before them didn’t and this contributes to their anxiety 💸 Some with anxiety also have adhd which contributes to procrastination. High functioning depressive and high functioning anxiety also contribute to procrastination 😣 Cognitive behavioral therapy may be helpful in combating school anxiety and procrastination due to anxiety and organizational skills may be helpful with procrastination due to adhd.

1yDr. Judith Joseph MD MBA have you seen a correlation in your research between people with high functioning depression and the depressed individual being raised in an immigrant household environment? Just through casual observation in my own life and in the lives of other friends/colleagues whose parents were born outside of the US, I have noted such intense pressures concerning education from immigrant parents can contribute to school anxiety and high functioning depression.
