After more than a decade of stability or improvement, the mental health of adolescents plunged in the early 2010s. Rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm, and suicide rose sharply, more than doubling on most measures. Why? In his eye-opening book The Anxious Generation, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt unpacks the sharp rise in adolescent anxiety, depression, and self-harm since the early 2010s, exploring the dramatic shift from "play-based childhoods" to "phone-based" childhoods. He investigates the nature of childhood, including why children need play and independent exploration to mature into competent, thriving adults. In this New York Times bestseller, Haidt issues a clear call to action.
We hope you'll read the book and join discussion and help create a Mt. Horeb Community Action Plan to help stop this epidemic.
