A great deal of research has found that "Gen Z," specifically those born after 1995, is the generation being hit the heaviest by the mental illness epidemic -- as rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide skyrocket among young people.

The birth of smartphones and social media.    Author of 'The Anxious Generation,' Jonathan Haidt shares the evidence he's seen that reveals how technology plays a role in Gen Z's poor mental health, why parents didn't recognize the damage smartphones could do until it was too late, and the ways society can adapt our behavior (especially in our households) to revolve less around technology.   Follow Martha on X: @MarthaMacCallum Learn more about your ad choices.
