This is extreme myopia. You could make a list like this for any given 40-year period and in the earlier periods disease would be worse, healthcare would be worse, material living standards would be worse, and life expectancy would be lower.
I think it's basically laughable to suggest that millennials have experienced more stress than earlier generations. (Not that it matters, but I'm an older millennial myself.)
Now, it genuinely might be the case that millennials are subjectively more "stressed out" than their predecessors, but that's a different claim. It's a claim I don't have any trouble believing, but the cause is likely widespread access and attention to negative stressors (via social media, for example), not the existence of a greater number of them.
