We need to talk about the mental health crisis facing today's youth. Here's what you should know: 📈 Since 2000, depression and anxiety rates in children have doubled 🆘 More than 60% of youth with depression receive no mental health treatment 🤖 In reality, 90% of teens regularly use online chatbots for support, often in secret As a parent and technology enthusiast, these statistics alarm me. Imagine being a teen today, facing the challenges of adolescence and the pressures of a hyper-connected world. Now consider turning to #ChatGPT for advice on your deepest fears and insecurities. I'm awestruck by AI's potential, but deeply troubled by the risks. The hard truth is that relying on it excessively during pivotal years can worsen the youth's mental health crisis. As a society, we cannot afford to get this wrong. We're gambling with our collective futures — not just our children’s. After all, the youth of today are the leaders and changemakers of tomorrow. How can we solve this problem? Let's start with open, honest conversations, to raise awareness and break stigmas. A thorough understanding of this issue requires collaboration across fields. And it requires commitment and innovation to expand access to quality mental health care. We don't have all the answers yet, but I'm determined to do my part. Read the article. Share your thoughts, concerns, and ideas. Keep the conversation going in your families and communities.
