Why has there been such an increase in young people diagnosed with mental health problems? Are Gen Z less resilient than older generations, or have they been seriously let down? Has therapy culture gone too far – or not far enough? Why are there so many young people doing absolutely nothing? Is it laziness, or something else?This week, Vicky Spratt  is joined by three guests: psychologist and expert in adolescent mental health, Dr Lucy Folkues, researcher and co-author of “inside the mind of a 16 year old”, Shuab Gamote and writer of “Girls, The Commodification of Everything” Freya India.
