Abstract in brief
- The study analyzed data from over 40,000 US children aged 2 to 17 in 2016 and found that increased screen time is linked to lower psychological wellbeing, including issues like reduced curiosity, self-control, and emotional stability.
- Older adolescents (14-17 years) who used screens for 7 hours a day were more than twice as likely to have been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, or to have received mental health treatment compared to those using screens for just 1 hour daily.
- Even moderate screen use (around 4 hours per day) was associated with poorer psychological wellbeing, and the negative effects of screen time were more evident in teenagers than in younger children.
