Child psychiatrist argues screens are not the problem
Original: Opinion | I’m a Child Psychiatrist. Screens Are Not the Problem.
A New York Times opinion piece by a child psychiatrist argues that screens themselves are not the root cause of children's mental health problems, pushing back against the widespread narrative blaming smartphones and social media. The author contends the focus on screen time distracts from deeper issues affecting young people's wellbeing, adding a dissenting voice to an increasingly heated public debate over technology and childhood.
Why now: Ongoing public debate over whether smartphones and social media are harming children's mental health.
