EP76: Social Media Sweet Spot: Teen Well-Being Unlocked

from Med x Decode · host MedxDecode.com

Worried about your kid's TikTok habit? Or thinking of a total ban? A massive study of 100,000 teens reveals a "U-shaped" truth: moderate social media use is actually better than none at all. Surprisingly, for boys, having no social media might be riskier than using it too much. References: Singh, B., Zhou, M., Curtis, R., Maher, C., & Dumuid, D. (2026).
