About Digital media use and mental health in brief
Relationships between digital media use and mental health have been investigated. The delineation between beneficial and pathological use of digital media has not been established. There are no widely accepted diagnostic criteria, although some experts consider overuse a manifestation of underlying psychiatric disorders. The use of the term addiction to refer to these phenomena and diagnoses has also been questioned. The focus on problematic technology use in research, particularly in relation to the behavioural addiction paradigm, is becoming more accepted, despite poor standardisation and conflicting research. The evolution of digital media use to use rather than addiction was encouraged by a 2018 review by psychologists at Ramon Llull University, Llull, and Christakis R. R. Christakis, editors of JAMA Paediatrics, the 2019 edition of the Paediatric Journal of the American Medical Association. The review investigated concerns about developmental and behavioural risks of excessive media use for child and adolescent development, as well as cognitive and social-behavioural risks. It also looked at the benefits of structured and limited internet use in children and adolescents for developmental and educational purposes, but that excessive use can have a negative impact on mental well-being. A 2018 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development report noted an overall 40% increase in internet use.
in school-age children between 2010 and 2015, and that different OECD nations had marked variations in rates of childhood technology use, aswell as differences in the platforms used. The report noted that different countries had marked differences in rates. of childhoodTechnology use, including differences in differences in platforms used and differences in. the levels of public anxiety around new media assessments. It concluded that the use of new media is posing dilemmas for management of population-based issues such as cognitive literacy, social-emotional literacy, and cognitive and behavioural literacy. The study was published in the January 2019 issue of the journal Paed Pediatrics, the January issue of which is published by the American Academy of Pediatricians, the journal of which the editor-in-chief is R.R. Raksakis Raksaksakis, and the editors of Christakis Christakis and Raksakakis, are editors of the JAMA Jaediatrics 2019 edition. The January issue is available online at www.paediatrics.org/jaediatrics/2019/jan/19/features/features-features-new-media-use-for-children-and-adults-and advocates-on-the-paediatric-journal-of-child-behaviours-on the paedophile-group-jamas-jammed-jams-james-jammies-jamins-jambos-jamaica-says-jaedamas-sajamans-sjambons-sijamans.
