Suicide Rates Are up for Gen Z Across the Anglosphere, Especially for Girls. “Since 2010, rates of self-harm episodes have increased for adolescents in the Anglosphere countries, especially for girls. For data on all sources, and larger versions of the graphs, see Rausch and Haidt (2023). Before 2010, there was not much happening. By 2015, self-harm episodes were at record-high levels in all five countries. . . . I have added a shaded area on all graphs from 2010 to 2015, which is the period that Jon calls ‘The Great Rewiring of Childhood’ in his forthcoming book, The Anxious Generation. It’s the five-year period when adolescence changed to a phone-based form; adolescents went from nearly all owning flip phones (or other basic phones) to nearly all owning smartphones with high-speed data plans and continuous (and nearly unlimited) access to the internet and social media. This is the five-year period in which adolescent mental health began to deteriorate around the Western world.”
