Surgeon general calls for social media warning labels

Season 2024 Episode 170 | 7m 08s

Surveys show the overwhelming majority of American teens use social media in some form. Some studies link more than three hours a day on social media to an increased risk of teen anxiety and depression. U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy is calling for a warning label on those media platforms. Murthy joined Amna Nawaz to discuss the teen mental health crisis in America.
