The Science Behind the Dangers of Screen Time | Guest: Dr. Nicholas Kardaras | Part 2 | Ep 803
Today we're joined again by Dr. Nicholas Kardaras, psychologist and one of the country’s foremost addiction and mental health experts, to discuss screen addiction and the dangers of screen time on our brains. We start off with some of the science of how screens affect our brains, hindering the development of our prefrontal cortex, and the social contagion aspect of social media with the rise of TikTok "ticks," trans anxiety, depression. Ultimately, Dr. Kardaras explains why what he calls "toxic psych metrics" are spiking. We also talk about the differences between television and tablets/phones and why screen time in the past had vastly less dramatic effects than screen time these days does. We discuss the rise in ADHD diagnoses, hyper-fragility, and forming our identities around the internet. What are the consequences of our reality being online, and is it too late for parents to correct their kids' screen time habits? We'll cover these questions and more.
