Summarization
Amy Orben and her colleague Professor Sophia Blakemore argue in a recent Nature commentary that in order to better understand the correlation between social media and mental health, research must take into account adolescent development. They suggest that people's sensitivity to online content changes over the course of their lives. In addition, the piece has been celebrated for inviting inquiry and nuance into the complex area of mental health in youth, which can be both a lifeline and a source of distress.

1625916892790521857 | Why is there no scientific consensus on how social-media use affects young people’s mental health?

1625228651833729032 | @sjblakemore “This kind of ‘extremism’ is not currently considered for support under Prevent unless it is accompanied with a recognised ideology, eg incel/extreme rightwing/Islamist.” So schools are just wasting Op Prevent’s resources 👌 for a guy that’s not been charged with anything 😂 | 0 |
