Ep 43. Why Our Kids Are Struggling: The Truth About Teen Mental Health, Part 1 | Dr. Aaron Kheriaty
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Aaron Kheriaty to confront the sobering mental health crisis affecting youth in America today. We examine the alarming rise in suicide rates, the impact of social media and electronic devices, and the role of loneliness and social isolation in shaping children's well-being. By untangling the factors contributing to this crisis and distinguishing ordinary struggles from clinical concerns, we offer practical guidance and crucial awareness for parents striving to protect and nurture their kids. Uncover not only the realities facing modern families but ways to support mental health and connection at home.
