Study authors say poorer mental health and greater perceived stress show a link to higher total screen usage. More social support and coping behaviors showed a connection with lower total screen use. Despite the gradual reversal of quarantine restrictions, studies suggest screen time continues to remain high. This can be harmful, not just for mental health, but physical health as well.

“Screen time lends itself to more sedentary time and less physical activity, snacking while distracted, eating in the absence of hunger, and greater exposure to food advertising,” Dr. Nagata explains.

No kidding.
