I’ve thought this was the case for awhile now but there is some push back to this line of thought these days.
Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren’t Growing Up Abigail Shrier Swift Press, Feb 27, 2024 - Social Science - 288 pages From the author of Irreversible Damage, an investigation into how mental health overdiagnosis is harming, not helping, children
‘A pacy, no-holds barred attack on mental health professionals and parenting experts … thought-provoking’ Financial Times
‘A message that parents, teachers, mental health professionals and policymakers need to hear’ New Statesman
In virtually every way that can be measured, Gen Z’s mental health is worse than that of previous generations. Youth suicide rates are climbing, antidepressant prescriptions for children are common, and the proliferation of mental health diagnoses has not helped the staggering number of kids who are lonely, lost, sad and fearful of growing up. What’s gone wrong?
In Bad Therapy, bestselling investigative journalist Abigail Shrier argues that the problem isn’t the kids – it’s the mental health experts. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with child psychologists, parents, teachers and young people themselves, Shrier explores the ways the mental health industry has transformed the way we teach, treat, discipline and even talk to our kids. She reveals that most of the therapeutic approaches have serious side effects and few proven benefits: for instance, talk therapy can induce rumination, trapping children in cycles of anxiety and depression; while ‘gentle parenting’ can encourage emotional turbulence – even violence – in children as they lash out, desperate for an adult to be in charge.
Mental health care can be lifesaving when properly applied to children with severe needs, but for the typical child, the cure can be worse than the disease. Bad Therapy is a must-read for anyone questioning why our efforts to support our kids have backfired – and what it will take for parents to lead a turnaround.

I only have allergies in late summer
Did Myst come to PS5 a few years ago? It was on Game Pass at that time. Nostalgia 10/10
‘Two of a kind’ means a pair that are just alike. It does not speak to the commonality of the item or persons.
I recently cleared out a butt load of photos that should’ve had me in the clear for months but the next morning I was out of space again. ‘Device backup’ had taken it all. I disabled cloud backup in my phone, later reenabling it, and it was fine.
Sims for me too. When I’m not playing the game I’m trying to put myself in x4 speed. I got shit to do.
And now you have grandchildren?
Shit I wished I’d known
No nothing, I just didn’t think anyone did this anymore. I don’t even have any CDs anymore
Like, ripped mp3s like the old days?
Wow this brings me back. What is winamp used for these days?
I cannot speak to this search provider however we know that tree planting alone isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Especially huge projects.
Gifs can be uploaded but there’s a low size limit. Still trying to figure it out. Probably varies by instance.
I don’t see how they could possibly be true but I’m no scientist.
Good idea, I’ve been so excited for this.
Disclaimer: am American so I only see from outside, but I think the longer the UK is out of the EU the more likely another independence referendum becomes. Also a labour government taking over from the tories would be preferable to the Scottish people, I feel.
You’re not in the right instance
So? It would still help the project.
Why subreddits and not NSFW Lemmy communities?
