Academic Pressure Cannot Explain the Mental Illness Epidemic (jonathanhaidt.substack.com)

This article discussed depression, only briefly mentioning mental illness in general.

What are the relations and correlations between depression, suicide risk, anxiety, and stress (and which kinds of stressors)?

Low-achieving girls were always at higher risk of being depressed. So how/why is social media adding to this risk increase, specifically? I've read and can imagine various reasons (making success look more common, encouraging people to post only the good and aspirational and not failures or shared commiseration), but how have these been tested?


Social media can, though.
