Speaking of Psychology: Anxiety and teen girls, with Lisa Damour, PhD

Anxiety among teens and young adults is rising, and studies have shown that it has skyrocketed in girls. One study found that the number of girls who often felt nervous, worried or fearful jumped by 55% over a five-year period. What factors are behind rising stress and anxiety in girls and what can we do about it? Our guest is Dr. Lisa Damour, a clinical psychologist and executive director of Laurel School’s Center for Research on Girls who wrote "Under Pressure: Confronting the Epidemic of Stress and Anxiety in Girls."
