Aspen Ideas Festival Panel: “Anxious Girls, Lonely Boys”

Dr. Lisa Damour had the honor of speaking on a panel titled “Anxious Girls, Lonely Boys” during the Aspen Ideas Festival 2025. The youth mental health crisis is getting a lot of attention, but far less has been said about the gender gap that highlights the differing needs of girls and boys. Girls often report more anxiety and depression but have stronger support networks, while many boys face growing isolation and disconnection. The panel conversation explored these urgent challenges—and what we can do about them. Watch at the link below.
