Episode NIH Director EXCLUSIVE: Social Media Ban, Over-Prescription & Saving Gen Z | #108
Desperate to help, are doctors reaching for tools that leave patients worse off?
Why is antidepressant damage hidden from the public?
Why are so many people on SSRIs when scientists don’t even know how they work?
There are so many questions that need to be answered as this modern medical scandal unfolds, and I travelled to the White House to put them to the head of the NIH himself, Dr Jay Bhattacharya.
Dr Bhattacharya is the Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and an emeritus Professor at Stanford School of Medicine where he has been a faculty member for over 25 years.

ABOUT THE NEXT GENERATION:
In a world saturated by social media and marked by skyrocketing rates of anxiety, depression, and ADHD among Gen Z, young people are growing up in a landscape of chaos and contradiction. While protests swell in city streets and activists hurl soup at famous artworks to demand climate action, a quieter crisis unfolds within - the mental and emotional battles faced by a generation trying to make sense of it all.
The Next Generation is hosted by 21-year-old Elliot Bewick, offering a raw and honest look at the world through the eyes of those living in it. Bringing together insight from professionals and young people on the ground, this podcast isn’t here to complain or chase clout. It’s here to bend the arc of the modern world towards solutions, truth and a love for the beautiful adventure of life itself.
