The Anxious Generation: How to Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness

---

“The Anxious Generation” by Jonathan Haidt examines social and cultural factors contributing to a surge in anxiety, depression, and suicidality among American youth. With scholarly rigor and an accessible style, Haidt traces the current mental health crisis to the mid-2010s, when smartphones and social media began to reshape the social landscape for adolescents. He poignantly argues that shifting from in-person to electronic social interactions led to “safetyism,” which prioritizes excessive protection from harm. Haidt illustrates that overreliance on technology has all but eliminated unstructured play from the lives of children and adolescents, thereby reducing opportunities to engage with manageable risks, typical setbacks, failures, and healthy social challenges. Haidt adds that smartphone technologies have led to overparenting — e.g., over-communication, constant notifications, and GPS tracking of children’s whereabouts. He asserts that these trends have robbed an entire generation of the resilience, coping skills, and independence needed to navigate everyday stressors, and in turn created unprecedented levels of anxiety at a societal level.
