In this pocket-sized episode, Rachel and I talk about the new advisory that US Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, released today about the harmful effects of social media on the mental health of youth. We discuss our own engagement with social media, how we’ve seen it affect celebrities to normal everyday high schoolers, and highlight Dr. Murthy’s recommendations for how we can maximize our benefits from social media and minimize the harm that it can cause children.
