TV can be Educational but Social Media Likely Harms Mental Health

Many people equate screen time or gadget use with addiction to smoking because they’re perceived as bringing far more harmful effects on health than any benefit but I’m a strong believer of context and what people (including kids) consume or use on their screens matter so much more than just the use itself because these devices can help if used the right way.

Separately, kids and adults also need to learn about control and ways to respond to certain triggers to reduce harmful effects.
