Episode Details

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to author Abigail Shrier about her new book, "Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up"; how the mental health industry is designed to make young people anxious, upset, and miserable; why the current generation is lonelier, sadder, more depressed, and more anxious than any before despite having the most mental health resources; how the overuse of therapy and psychiatric drugs are doing more harm than good; the negative impact of social media and the lack of independence and autonomy in children's lives; why parents need to trust their instincts more and rely less on experts; how a reduction in mental health staff in schools and a return to traditional parenting methods could help kids with the mental health crisis; and much more.
