Digital Platforms Shape Youth Mental Health Conversations and Experiences
As digital platforms increasingly influence mental health conversations, young people and children engage with emotions and identity through social media, gaming, and AI.

Experts emphasize focusing on the quality of online interactions rather than just screen time, highlighting the importance of understanding digital experiences in mental health discussions.
