Про цей епізод

Freya India is a writer and journalist focussed on female mental health and modern culture. Gen Z girls are not doing ok.

From therapy culture to advertising your anti-depressant use on Instagram, it's no surprise they're struggling and confused. Expect to learn just how bad the state of teenage girls mental health is right now, how companies are targeting and monetising this crisis, the glamorisation of taking medication, how selfie editing has been seen as a powerful act of self-expression, what Snapchat Dysmorphia is, why girls are so risk-averse in dating and much more...
