Understanding the Influence of Social Connections on Mental Health Trends

The speaker argues that a significant shift in mental illness rates, especially in girls since 2012, is not merely a mood-related change but is influenced by social connections. They highlight that girls are more susceptible to influence, connection, and contagion, contributing to the observed trends. Research conducted internationally suggests that conservative and religious individuals are protected from this negative psychological shift, while others feel their lives lack meaning and experience increased depression. This analysis showcases that in Eastern Europe, where religiosity is on the rise, children are psychologically healthier compared to Catholic and Protestant Europe, where children are facing more mental health challenges.
