In today's episode of Psych Talk I chat with Dr. Will Dobud, social worker, research, and senior lecturer about youth mental health. Will defines the "Kids these days" effect, which is also the title of his recent book with co-author Dr. Nevin Harper. Will discusses what inspired Nevin and him to write the book, as well as how it stands apart from other books on youth mental health. Will discusses the current state of youth mental health and various factors that are contributing to the current state of youth mental health. We discuss how Nevin and Will take a critical approach in the book, challenging their own and mainstream ideas about youth mental health and acknowledging the fact that, despite more therapists, awareness of mental health, and interventions, the research continues to show youth mental health is continuing to decline. Will also points out the cyclical nature of history and how many things we are discussing today with youth mental health have been discussed historically. We end the episode by discussing cultural shifts that need to take place to better support youth mental health, including better modeling from adults.Connect with Will:IG: @willdobudIG: @kids_these_days_bookSubstack: Adults in the RoomBook: Kids These DaysConnect with Me:Follow me on IG @jessicaleighphdFollow the podcast on IG @psych.talk.podcastFollow me on TikTok @jessicaleighphdFollow me on Youtube Follow me on Threads @jessicaleighphdWelcome to Group Therapy PodcastJoin my Facebook community: Grow Through What You Go ThroughWays to Work With Me:Mind Over MatterLGBTQ+ Affirming MasterclassBe a guest on my podcastResources:Anti-Racism ResourcesLGBTQ+ Affirming ResourcesThe Helping Professional's Guide to Boundary SettingIntro/Outro MusicLife of Riley by Kevin MacLeodMusic License

In today's episode of Psych Talk, I discuss the intersection of politics and beauty standards. Prompted by a discussion at work about the rise in eating disorders over the past 5 years and noticing a shift back to the ultra-thin ideals, I decided to dive deeper into this topic to see what I could find. I start the episode by discussing a history of body politics - the practices and policies through which powers of society regulate the human body, as well as the struggle over the degree of individual and social control of the body. Body politics encompasses much more than just beauty standards; however, it is important to understand the broader picture. I then discuss how politics impacts beauty standards in general, with a focus on "conservative aesthetics" which we have seen a rise of in recent years. I then spend time specifically discussing how politics impacts beauty standards with regard to body size, race, and gender. I end the episode by discussing the impact of beauty standards on mental health. As noted throughout the episode, the information shared is not to shame anyone for following certain beauty trends or expressing themselves in a certain way; rather, to provide information on how the sociopolitical climate impacts what we view as "beautiful" so we can self-reflect on our own beliefs and push back, if we desire.
