Join us as we sit down with Dr. Mark Williams, a renowned cognitive neuroscientist, to explore the critical link between social media usage and the rise of mental illness in children. Dr. Mark Williams speaks candidly and forcefully
about the dangers of social media, not pulling any punches in his warnings.
What are the biggest challenges you face in limiting the negative impacts of excessive screen time and social media use for children, considering the profound changes in brain cognitive function and the emotional toll it can take? Research studies are increasingly linking excessive screen use to a rise in mental health disorders such as ADHD symptoms, addiction, depression, eating disorders, self harm and anxiety among kids. This is without the impacts from on-line child sex exploitation. This isn't just about spending too much time online; it's about the profound changes in brain cognitive function and the emotional toll on our kids.
