Most people question the relation of devices and mental health. In an opinion editorial published in the New York Times, Psychology Professor Tracy Dennis Tiwary commented on the relation between the mental health of teens and Technology. She said, “Although some research does show that excessive and compulsive smartphone use is correlated with anxiety and depression, there is a lack of direct evidence that devices actually cause mental health problems”. More and More evidence is released every day proving that the ties between devices and mental progression are tight, and their consequences cannot be ignored. The latest Link was established at the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine, and analyzed by the University of Michigan School of Medicine in “Digital Media and Symptoms of Attention-“Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in Adolescents.”
“The researchers observed 2,587 Los Angeles County high school students without symptoms of ADHD at study entry and surveyed the students five times within a two-year span. After twenty-four months, the findings showed that the frequent use of digital media may be associated with the development of ADHD among teens, but more research is needed.” Big think article writer Rebecca Muller writes. Rates of suicide are increasing more and more teens are getting hooked onto digital media; increasing their Signs Of ADHD. They are slowly becoming less attentive, more fidgety and showing more such signs of ADHD. We must limit our time on these devices before they limit our mind to knowledge.
