Why?

New research says it's how they use social media.

We'll dig into it in a minute.

Gen Z is a little anxious, and by that I mean very anxious compared to other generations.

And that thing in their pocket on their nightstand and in their hand is making it worse.

What is that thing?

You'll never guess.

It's their phone.

If you don't believe me, I'm here with somebody whose study shows a connection between screen time and anxiety levels for young people.

His name is Stephen Neely, and he's an associate professor of public affairs at the University of South Florida.

Stephen, welcome to the program.

Thank you, David.

I appreciate it.

Before we get into screens and TikTok and all that, when you looked at the data, what surprised you most about the anxiety levels of young people?

Not necessarily what they're doing to cause it.

When I think of my grandparents, my parents, this is not a generation that talked a lot about mental health.

I'm a millennial.

I know my generation probably did more than Gen X and boomers.

Could it be that young people have more language and they're just talking about their own mental health more?

Or of course, did your study correct for that?
