NEWS x MUSE Hannah Fletcher talk with director Ted Balaker and Courtney Balaker about their film, The Coddling of the American Mind.

In 2012, anxiety, depression, and suicide rates among young adults began to rise dramatically, leaving experts baffled and searching for answers. The Coddling of the American Mind, based on the New York Times bestselling book by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt, explores this mental health crisis through the intertwined stories of five remarkable twenty-somethings, including Kimi, a Ugandan immigrant, and Lucy, a former psych ward patient struggling with various mental health challenges. As they enter college, their bright futures are soon overshadowed by fear and despair.

From filmmakers Ted Balaker and Courtney Moorehead Balaker (Little Pink House), The Coddling of the American Mind delves into the personal battles facing young people while exploring the larger mental health crisis affecting an entire generation.

Following a successful college screening tour and an exclusive run as the first-ever “Substack Presents” feature documentary, The Coddling of the American Mind is now available digitally.
