The Teen Mental Health Crisis, Part 2

Summary

This episode explores the current teen mental health crisis, contrasting data with the clinical perspective of psychologist Lisa de Moore. It highlights our cultural tendency to pathologize negative emotions like stress and sadness, treating them as enemies to be eliminated. Ultimately, the takeaway is that instead of eradicating these emotions, we should aim to develop a healthy relationship with them, recognizing that change itself is inherently stressful, especially during adolescence.
