The chapter delves into the negative effects of 'gentle parenting' and the mental health challenges faced by privileged young individuals. It questions the overuse of therapy and the impact of societal pressures on the well-being of the young generation. The conversation also explores the influence of social media on relationships and discusses the potential return to a more traditional, screen-free lifestyle for children.
Could it be possible that the boom in therapy for young people is harming, not helping, the next generation? UnHerd's Florence Read spoke to the author of a new book 'Bad Therapy', Abigail Shrier, about mental health myths, gentle parenting and the medicalisation of American kids.
