This therapist alone has seen more than 100:

"Her case is becoming the norm for twenty- to thirtysomethings I see in my office as a psychotherapist. I’ve had at least 100 college and grad students like Amy crying on my couch because breaching adulthood is too overwhelming."

Does this have anything to do with the variance between the "expectations" that were laid out for Millennials & the reality of what actually exists.

If you're brought up to follow all the rules & go to college, work 40 years and then retire & as soon as you get through the first part (follow the rules & graduate) and you can't get a job at Starbucks - life might seem a bit harder than you expected.

It doesn't help that educational standards have been falling and college prices have been rising.
