The medical alert
“We are in the midst of a national youth mental health crisis and I fear that social media is a major driver of this crisis – something we need to address urgently,” she said. And in a report she calls more research needed to “better understand the effects of social networks” on young people, while saying there is “considerable evidence” that they can have negative consequences.
Who is most at risk
Adolescents, he says, “are at a different stage of development and are at a critical stage of brain development.” But the ones at risk, going more specifically, would be above all young girls, who would be the most vulnerable. According to research cited by Vivek Murthy, using these platforms puts them at a higher risk than teens of being cyber-bullied or even developing eating disorders.
