Claim0a4dfc2c16292da987cf2cafb9c95681197ec85a491471dea2b018fb0430b69f·Showcase: Smartphones, social media, and adolescent mental health
Claim
Beginning around 2012, adolescent rates of major depressive episodes, emergency-department visits for self-harm, and completed suicides rose sharply and roughly contemporaneously across the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, and the Nordic countries — the same set of countries in which a majority of teens acquired smartphones, and in which image-based social platforms became dominant, during the 2010–2013 window.
