The call by doctors for parents and physicians to early address the impact of social media on children echoes the ancient saying ‘mend the fold after the sheep have been stolen’. It’s not a trivial matter that 95% of 17-year-old Americans use social media daily. Parents seem to ignore the potential risks of social media until their children experience psychological issues like anxiety and depression. Doctors point out that excessive use of social media can lead to double the risk of mental health issues in adolescents, which is no trivial matter.
