S7 E4: Youth and Social Media UseIn this episode, Jerry and Alexis speak with Dr. Alison Yeung about how youth engage with social media. This episode broaches topics of mental health, child development, education, parenting, and psychology. Dr. Yeung is a family physician from Kitchener, Ontario who has spent the past decade becoming acutely aware of how youth are struggling in new and unprecedented ways - increasing rates of depression, anxiety, eating disorders, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts. Dr. Yeung is highly concerned that kids today are showing signs of feeling more alone, less motivated, and lacking a deep sense of purpose. We were very excited to speak with Dr. Yeung about her advocacy for mental health, specifically regarding the potential negative impact of social media on youth. More information about her efforts can be found on her instagram handle: @thesmartphoneeffectmd and in her substack https://thesmartphoneeffectmd.substack.com/
