Just read the article on the decline in teen mental health. I think the article missed a lot of other more recent discussions and views on the topic that have come out lately, particularly from Jonathan Haidt in Anxious Generation and from Abigail Shrier in Bad Therapy. These should be highly recommended reads for any parent interested in the topic.

Just want to reiterate my appreciation (for a change from the more vocal people that love hearing the sound of their own voice) that having a separate community discussion section is both more appropriate and healthier for everyone. I don’t pay for this website to read unsolicited advice from unqualified overly-online randoms that comment on online articles as a habit arising out of boredom and high levels of main character syndrome. It is always worth the money to read quality, well-thought out and researched pieces from someone with the time to dedicate as their career. Having the community section on the site lets me go here on the occassion when I actually want to see people’s perspectives when I want to. But it also helps me avoid the urge to be reactionary in a way that I need to actually post those thoughts for others to read when unnecessary (most of the time).

Keep up the good work!
