Dr. Scott Anderson doesn’t sugarcoat it:

Overindulgence, “best friend” parenting, and zero consequences created generations of entitled, impulsive people — and that’s the real root of America’s mental health and addiction crisis.

In this raw episode he explains:

• Why lack of impulse control and delayed gratification is the universal trait of addicts
• How spoiled, electronics-bribed kids grow into dysfunctional adults
• The damage of fatherless homes + inconsistent parenting
• Why truth and accountability (even when uncomfortable) are the only way forward
• How this cycle is destroying quality of life for everyone

If you’re tired of the coddling culture and want real solutions, this is the hard truth most people avoid.
