How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness
by Jonathan Haidt
The Anxious Generation, by social psychologist Jonathan Haidt, explores the alarming rise in mental health issues among young people, particularly anxiety and depression. He argues that this phenomenon is not simply a coincidence but rather a direct result of the profound changes in how children are growing up in the digital age.

He explores the negative consequences of this constant connectivity, including sleep deprivation, attention fragmentation, social isolation, and increased exposure to cyberbullying and unrealistic social comparisons.
