Impact of Social Media on Children's Mental Health

Reported 9 months ago

The U.S. Surgeon General is advocating for health warning labels on social media platforms for younger users due to the increase in mental health issues among kids. Studies show that excessive social media use, averaging five hours a day, can lead to higher rates of depression and anxiety in adolescents. Parents and pediatricians recommend limiting screen time and promoting alternative activities like outdoor play, family time, a balanced diet, and interests in arts or music to improve children's well-being.
