A new study from the University of California San Francisco was recently published in the Journal of Adolescent Health. It found that 48% of young adults had mental health symptoms during the pandemic and more than a third of those were unable to access therapy options. So why are so many young adults going untreated? What are the obstacles to obtaining mental health services? And how are those obstacles overcome?

I was originally scheduled to talk to one of the study's authors. However, that author thought that a clinician would better explain the human aspects of the study. Luckily, I know someone who's looking at the connections between the Covid pandemic and mental illness. Joining me today is my best friend.

As much as technology has made it easier to interact with each other, it also makes it easier to cut off interaction. There's even a term for it: ghosting. So what is ghosting? And what are the negative impacts on mental health for those who have been ghosted?

Darren Gibson discussed this topic with Dr. Zoe Chance, author of "Influence Is Your Superpower: The Science Of Winning Hearts, Sparking Change, and Making Good Things Happen." Dr. Chance earned her doctorate in behavioral science from Harvard and is a professor at Yale School Of Management, teaching the course "Mastering Influence and Persuasion." She recently wrote an article for Psychology Today titled "Why Ghosting Is More Harmful Than We Thought."]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/49073122Tue, 15 Mar 2022 21:08:46 +0000Darren GibsonTechnology has changed the way people interact with each other.
