"US Surgeon General Links Social Media to Gen Z's Unhappiness Crisis"
US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy warns that Generation Z is experiencing a "mid-life crisis" due to the negative impact of social media on their mental health, as evidenced by their low happiness rankings. He likens social media to driving without safety features and calls for immediate policy action to address the issue. This is supported by a recent report showing disconcerting drops in youth happiness, particularly in North America and Western Europe. Additionally, a review suggests that taking selfies has become a public health concern.
