Rise of Teen Depression and Self-Harm: Exploring Factors and Social Media Impact
The chapter delves into the increase in depression and self-harm among teens despite economic improvements and ongoing school shootings, refuting hypotheses like increased mental health diagnoses. It explores the rise in objectively measured behaviors like self-harm and suicide rates, particularly among teen girls, and discusses factors contributing to the mental health issues among millennials and Gen Z. The negative impact of smartphones and social media on young people, especially in relation to teen depression, is highlighted, along with challenges faced by young people on social media platforms and the design of apps to keep users engaged for longer.
