The Truth About Teen Mental Health, Smartphones & Social Media | Natasha Devon

Dela

This week I'm joined by writer, broadcaster and mental health campaigner Natasha Devon.


Natasha has spent nearly two decades working in schools, speaking to thousands of young people about everything from anxiety and perfectionism to social media, body image and friendship. In this episode, we get into what's really happening to the next generation, from the impact of smartphones and AI to why genuine human connection is becoming harder to find.


We also talk about why banning social media might not be the answer, what parents are getting wrong, and why Natasha believes authenticity, not perfection, is what young people need most. We also chat about her brilliant new book, The Nuance Drought, which explores how we've lost the ability to have thoughtful, balanced conversations in an increasingly polarised world.
