    I’m expecting downvotes for this.

    While I agree with you that social media is very harmful to everyone but especially young people, I think we’ve also socialized an entire generation to pathologize mental distress instead of teaching them resiliency.

      You have my upvoted. This is 100 percent true! Especially here on Lemmy. I have seen people almost brag as they list their mental issues and meds they’re taking!
