Jonathan Haidt, author of The Anxious Generation contends that there is ample evidence that a causal link exists between social media and the increased levels of anxiety and depression experienced by US teenagers. In a new review of the research, Haidt cites Meta’s own internal reporting that “teens blame Instagram for an increase in the rates of anxiety and depression among teens”.

In 2024 the U.S. Surgeon General released “Parents Under Pressure”, an advisory on the mental health and well-being of parents.

This report highlights the stressors that impact parents and caregivers, the critical link between parental mental health and children’s long-term well-being, and the urgent need to better support parents, caregivers, and families.
