The suggestion that digital technologies are rewiring our children’s brains and causing an epidemic of #mental #illness is not supported by science.
Worse, the bold proposal that social media is to blame might distract us from effectively responding to the real causes of the current mental-health crisis in young people.
Rather, young people who already have mental-health problems use such platforms more often or in different ways from their healthy peers.
