Elmo's Social Media Check-In Reveals Mental Health Crisis
Elmo, the beloved character from "Sesame Street," innocently asked followers on X how they were doing, only to be inundated with thousands of emotional responses, including expressions of depression, anxiety, and personal struggles. The question was seen over 140 million times, and the nonprofit organization behind "Sesame Street" acknowledged that Elmo may not have been prepared for the overwhelming emotional fatigue shared in response.
