Social media connects us, but at what cost? Depression, anxiety, and isolation are on the rise—especially for kids. In this episode of BHT Bytes, hosts Sharlee Dixon and Dr. Graham Taylor explore the profound impact of social media and technology on mental health, particularly among young people. With rising rates of depression, anxiety, and isolation, it's clear that constant connectivity comes with consequences. Attention spans are shrinking, real-world interactions are declining, and the balance between technology’s benefits and its risks has never been more critical. This conversation unpacks the challenges digital engagement presents, the role of boundaries in fostering healthier habits, and how we can better support the next generation in navigating an increasingly online world.
