PODCAST: Mental Health and Smartphone Use with Dr. Alison Yeung

How are devices impacting the mental health of our youth? Dr. Alison Yeung, a Family Physician from Ontario, Canada, has noticed a growing number of teen mental health-related visits over the past decade. With kids spending increasing amounts of time on devices, especially on social media, YouTube, and video games, she began research on the topic. What she found raised serious concerns about how these platforms are affecting young minds. Now, Dr. Yeung is dedicated to educating parents, encouraging them to delay their children's exposure to social media, and reducing the harmful effects of handheld device use.
