Mental health experts spoke about teen suicides and social anxiety at a roundtable panel held jointly by TIME and critically acclaimed Broadway musical 'Dear Evan Hansen.'_  by [Cady Lang](https://time.com/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang Jan 9, 2019 6:45 PM UTC Mental health experts spoke about teen suicides and social anxiety at a roundtable panel held jointly by TIME and critically acclaimed Broadway musical 'Dear Evan Hansen.'  by [Cady Lang](https://time.com/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang Jan 9, 2019 6:45 PM UTC [_Game of Thrones_ star Sophie Turner](http://time.com/5312231/sophia-turner-new-game-of-thrones-tattoo/) called out [Piers Morgan](http://time.com/9250/why-did-piers-morgan-get-cancelled-pick-a-reason/) after the British television personality disparaged celebrities who use their time in the spotlight to talk about mental health issues. It all began when actress Beverley Callard was quoted as saying that she thinks celebrities are trying to make mental health problems “fashionable.” Morgan then shared a tweet that highlighted that quote, adding in his tweet that “She’ll be hammered for saying this, but it’s 100% true.” This sentiment didn’t sit well with Turner who then quote-tweeted Morgan with a comment of her own, calling him out by noting that the motivation to open up the conversation about mental health could be because mental illness “affects 1 in 4 people in UK per year.” This isn’t the first time that Morgan has had a controversial moment on Twitter; in October, he was [slammed for mocking actor Daniel Craig](http://time.com/5426187/piers-morgan-daniel-craig/) in a tweet that criticized the way the Bond star for carrying his infant daughter. See Morgan’s and Turner’s quotes below. > [](https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/1082928313230872577) > [](https://twitter.com/SophieT/status/1083025484525568000) ## Transcript [00:00] Suicide among teenagers, 5000 young people this [00:03] year, between 14 and 24, will commit suicide. Wow. [00:07] 600, 000 will make a serious enough attempt that they [00:10] will land up in an emergency room. That means that [00:12] every Two and a half minute, someone is making an [00:14] attempt. And here's the part that people forget. There [00:17] are two million teenagers who think about suicide. It's [00:20] because of their brains, remember, that pre- frontal [00:22] cortex hasn't put on the safety belt, doesn't put a [00:26] helmet on. They are thinking about it, and therefore, [00:29] when one suicide happens, they're very susceptible. So [00:32] you see these clusters happening all the time. So 90 % [00:36] of the kids who commit suicide have a psychiatric [00:38] disorder but this is a different type of brain. [00:41] Teenagers have a different type of brain than children [00:44] and adults. I think what we forget is that Teenagers [00:48] only see opportunity, they don't see risk. Hm. And [00:52] basically we always talk about the bad stuff. I have to [00:55] tell you, the Parkland kids, the Parkland High School [00:57] kids, they only see opportunity, they don't see risk too [00:59] Right, right, right. But it's really positive, you know. [01:01] they're talking into the face of the NRA or In talking [01:04] right back to a US Senator. But you have to remember, [01:07] they feel so passionately. And sometimes, if they [01:11] already are predisposed for anxiety, or depression, it [01:13] could be very deadly. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5498153/sophie-turner-on-piers-morgan-twitter/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5498153/sophie-turner-on-piers-morgan-twitter/"},"headline":"Sophie Turner Calls Out Piers Morgan for His Tweets About Mental Health","datePublished":"2019-01-09T18:45:56.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-13T08:19:32.369Z","description":"Here's what you need to know","url":"https://time.com/5498153/sophie-turner-on-piers-morgan-twitter/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt558ef5f3bd082500/698942f8db298704ea2619c8/sophie-turner-calls-out-piers-morgan-for-mental-health-tweet.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt558ef5f3bd082500/698942f8db298704ea2619c8/sophie-turner-calls-out-piers-morgan-for-mental-health-tweet.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Entertainment Weekly At New York Comic Con - Day 1","caption":"Entertainment Weekly At New York Comic Con - Day 1","creditText":"Lars Niki—Getty Images for Entertainment W","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5498153/sophie-turner-on-piers-morgan-twitter/","name":"Sophie Turner Calls Out Piers Morgan for His Tweets About Mental Health"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Mental Health Roundtable: Experts Discuss Teen Suicide and Social Anxiety","description":"Mental health experts spoke about teen suicides and social anxiety at a roundtable panel held jointly by TIME and critically acclaimed Broadway musical 'Dear Evan Hansen.'","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/xjOucKoR/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2018-05-10T21:27:03.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/xjOucKoR.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5498153/sophie-turner-on-piers-morgan-twitter/","duration":"PT1M14S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5498153/sophie-turner-on-piers-morgan-twitter/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
