We have to be more protective. They're very, very sheltered while they're home, or their parents control very much of what they do. So now you've got another problem right there, and that's why so many kids have no clue how to take care of themselves.
Ever wondered if sending kids off to college right after high school is the best move? In this eye-opening episode of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen tackle the pressing issue of mental health among college students. They dive into why depression, anxiety, and even suicide rates are alarmingly high in this group. Could it be that their brains just aren't ready for the pressures of college life?
The Amens suggest that the timing of brain development might play a crucial role in how young adults cope with the demands of higher education. But they don't stop there. Dr. Daniel and Tana also offer practical advice on which supplements could help mitigate these mental health challenges. They discuss creating healthy routines and organizational strategies to set students up for success.
The episode doesn't shy away from addressing the negative effects of social media addiction and even the surprising impact of plastic bottle use on both mental and physical health. Whether you're a parent, educator, or student, this episode is packed with valuable insights. Dr. Amen's poignant remark, 'We have to be more protective', highlights the need for a supportive environment as young adults transition to college life.
Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of these issues and learn how to better prepare for this critical stage in life.
