Screen Time and Depression-The Mental Health Risks of Screen Time

John Huber, PhD, Clinical Forensic Psychologist, Chairman of Mainstream Mental Health, a non-profit organization that treats mental health issues discussed research that has found that nearly half of teens who log at least five hours of screen time a day have thought about or attempted suicide. He discussed that concern and other mental health risks that result from too much time online. He offered advice for parents who would like to monitor and limit their teens’ social media and screen time.
