   If smart phones and social media are the cause of the mental health crisis among young adults (aka teens) in the USA why aren't they having the same crisis in Europe?

     @Gwendolyn @bmacDonald94 “Social media is causing youth to have a mental health crisis,” say all the Serious Adults who refuse to deal with the things *actually* causing young people to have mental health crises.

     @gentrifiedrose @bmacDonald94 Also rising misogyny and queer phobia enacted into law, school shootings, environmental crises, all that stuff.

     @MisuseCase @Gwendolyn@mastodon.cloud @bmacDonald94 Poverty and student debt is far worse than social media could ever be and I consider social media to be a hazardous drug.

     @MisuseCase @bmacDonald94 You're more likely to be shot in school than you are to pay off school loans.

     Youthsmental health is still an issue in Europe but to a lesser extent. Gen X heavily self-medicated with drugs (often linked to party scenes), Gen Y/Z is more likely to seek treatment and prescribed medication (or at least accommodations) and we have a slightly better health/welfare safety net than in the USA (although its not perfect), and also try to discourage weapons being brought to places of education..
