A psychiatry professor sees a cause for spiking rates of teenage depression and anxiety: the rise of social media Five years ago,I wrote a column approximately how parents could relate the difference between normal teenage mood swings and possible mental illness. I said then that most depression in teenagers was a sign of psychiatric disease. Since then, I’ve come to judge that most teen depression now is caused not by biology, and but by our culture,specifically by what one organization calls a new “public health crisis of the digital age.”
