In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with author, researcher, and documentary filmmaker Aly Vredenburgh to unpack the deeper roots of the Gen Z mental health crisis. Forget the surface-level blame on screen time—Aly breaks down how systemic issues, policy failures, and cultural shifts are fueling unprecedented levels of anxiety, depression, and loneliness in younger generations. From misunderstood social dynamics to lack of access to preventive care, Aly’s fresh and solution-focused insights are a wake-up call for individuals, parents, educators, and policymakers alike.
