Also, "blue zones" have been pretty thoroughly debunked[1], and Jonathan Haidt is a crank lol.
My favorite rebuttal to The Anxious Generation is that there *is* a correlation between teens receiving mental health diagnoses and teens using social media... but also a(n arguably much stronger) correlation between teens receiving mental health diagnoses and teens having more access to mental health professionals thanks to ACA coverage. Almost like you can't get diagnosed with anything unless you can see someone to diagnose you :P
