100% this, Instagram and other social media is contributing to the spike in teen suicide rate, humans need face to face contact.

Okay so you see no difference between a child using an ipad access social media and a child using an ipad to have a zoom call with a therapist where they can talk through their problems with a real person??

I see nothing to connect the adverse effects of social media on teens and increased telehealth access for teens besides you needing a phone for both. What’s next? We need to make appointments in person too because phone bad?

How on earth did you draw that conclusion? The only point I was making was that an in-person session is better than a zoom session.
