We Have a Mental Health Crisis Among Children

In a new “Sunday Special” interview, Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro spoke to author Abigail Shrier about the worsening mental health crisis among today’s youth.

During their hour-long discussion, Shapiro asked Shrier about some of the themes in her latest book, “Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren’t Growing Up,” released in February.

Shrier posits that the youngest generation might be less resilient because they are encouraged to focus on their bad feelings under the guise of working them out. Therapy, she suggests, might not be helping as much as we think it is.

“Let’s talk about what’s ailing the kids,” Shapiro began, noting there has been a “systemic change in therapy” in recent years. He asked Shrier whether she believes smartphones and social media could be a significant issue for children as well.
