Surgeon General Vivek Murthy released an advisory to parents regarding the effect that raising children may be having on their mental health.
– Many parents would probably say raising children isn’t easy. Now, the U.S. surgeon general is agreeing with them.Aside from the act of raising and caring for children, many parents are even more susceptible to the stressors of concerns that are economic and societal than those without kids.
All of these problems combined with the lack of resources many parents have has led to the need for new policy changes regarding parenthood, Murthy says. According to the surgeon general, there are about 63 million people raising children under the age of 18 years old. The Surgeon General’s Advisory says 41% of parents in the U.S. said they are often so stressed, they cannot function daily, while 48% said they are completely overwhelmed by their stress when compared to other adults without children.
