Why Is the Surgeon General's Office Warning About the Mental Health of Parents

A new advisory from the Surgeon General pushes a dark narrative about American parents

The Surgeon General’s office wants Americans to know parenting is causing a mental health crisis.

The office issued and advisory last week called “Parents Under Pressure.” It outlines the various forms and consequences of the stress of caring for families.

Parenting is indeed stressful, but stressful enough to warrant an advisory for the U.S. Surgeon General? Why would they feel moved to give us this now?

I declined to read all 36 pages of the report, but thankfully they offered a bullet point summary on ways to address the mental health crisis of sustaining the future of humanity.
