Psychologists are really slow to acknowdege facts, especially when it could interfere with their online popularity for content marketing. Teens are reproting high rates of stress and depression, due to societal pressures, income inquality, and in many cases not seeing much of a future. These are not like other serious mental health disorders, which are both undertreated due to the parents income and social staus, and in some cases overtreated, when the childre interact with the system or the parent has some kind of pathological disorder. Currently the childre taken form their parents at the Border are being medicated to make them more compliant, and easier to handle. Foster children in the US are often meidcated, becuase they have endured trauma, abuse or neglect.
Not much research has been done over the years about the long term consequences, mostly becasue there was no paham funding. No psychological organization chose to study any of it, becase painting a rosy picture of denial about children is a more profiable. No agency or research institution studied the rates of youth suicide, and outcomes of the children who are routinely treated with medication, not due to a mental disorder, but because it was marketed as benign. The rates of suicides adn lng term outcomes were never studied, because these chidlren were considered lost causes, or disposable to their income level, ethnicity, or socio economic status.
These light weight general articles are meant to portray a system that only appears to work until one looks close. They describe healthy famalies with resources, not the typicl American family. As ong as there is drivel like this portrayed as meaningfull, the denial will continue. Psychologist never cuaght up on the rates and type sof child abuse, and over the years ignored sexual adn emotional abuse, as long as the family had the right economic status. The children that got discarded in their teens, were already beyond caring about for the psycholgical industry, where most psychologist only recognize the worst formsof physical abuse. Drugging kid is never questioned, even when it is a form of abuse.
This is merely targeted advertising to reassure the parents that denial and abuse are fine, as long as they maintain appearances and keep paying for services. These psychologists never hear about the ones who reach their teens and commit suicide, because they were Gas Lighted by psychologists.
