The authors address that by looking at hospitalizations for self harm.
- BryantD 4y agoThat’s a powerful part of the narrative for sure. But … ugh, I need to be less lazy and dig into the supporting material, actually, some of my questions may be answered there. The big one is “does that mean there’s more self-harm, or does that mean parents are more willing to ask for emergency help?”
- revelio 4y agoIf the latter then it'd affect boys and girls equally. The simplest explanation here is likely the right one i.e. the increase in mental disorders is real.
- BryantD 4y agoI don’t think that’s true at all. There are real differences between how we treat men and women. And the actual effect we’re seeing isn’t even addressed — if it’s because college campuses won’t tolerate dissent, why wouldn’t that affect men?
- revelio 4y agoYes, women are treated much better in general especially at that age. Not sure where you got the college campus thing. The article is about teenagers. They mostly haven't gone to college yet.
