Episode 96
The CDC and Surgeon General recently released reports highlighting twin epidemics that are plaguing young people in our country. For boys, it’s loneliness and social isolation; for girls, it’s persistent sadness and hopelessness. Why are young people so sad and lonely? Mark and Joe discuss whether loneliness is inheritable, how much of the blame we can pin on the distorted view social media provides of reality, and how, in the land of plenty, we can help our kids get the one thing they need the most: human connection.
