Dr. Vivek Murthy's advisory highlights that parental mental health is an urgent public health issue, with parents facing overwhelming stress that impacts their families.
Murthy emphasizes the dual role of parenting in promoting both child and societal health, as parental stress is being transferred to children, exacerbating family challenges.
The advisory reveals alarming statistics, showing that 33% of parents have high stress levels, with many feeling burned out and unable to meet unreasonable expectations.
In recognizing the significant burdens parents face, Murthy advocates for policy changes and support programs to address the mental health crises affecting American families.
