Summary
Adolescence can be an emotionally volatile time, and in the age of social media, concerns about teenage mental health are more pressing than ever — for teens and parents alike. Dr. Lisa Damour is a clinical psychologist who specializes in teenagers and their mental health, consulting on the Pixar film Inside Out 2 and authoring the New York Times bestselling books Untangled, Under Pressure and The Emotional Lives of Teenagers. Lisa and Adam discuss the real problems facing teenagers today and unpack misconceptions about mental health, how many friends and how much sleep teens really need and why it truly takes a village to raise a teenager.
