1:58Now PlayingPsychiatrist and poet Dr. Diane Kaufman explains how social media rewires our attention, erodes real human connection, and fuels cyberbullying especially for vulnerable young people. In this clip from Cults, Culture, and Coercion, she and Dr. Steven Hassan discuss why face-to-face relationships protect our mental health, how online anonymity increases cruelty, and why teens can lose their inner sense of self in the chase for likes, followers, and validation.
If you’re concerned about youth mental health, social media addiction, or digital influence, this message is essential: real-life connection heals in ways the internet cannot.
Watch the full episode for more on suicide prevention, trauma recovery, and how art and empathy can save lives in the AI era.
