Published on 3.25.25
The growing concern of teenagers' excessive screen time habits has been linked to a range of negative effects on their mental health, including increased symptoms of ADHD. Grimes, a singer-songwriter who has been diagnosed with autism and ADHD, recently spoke out about the issue, citing a study by the National Institutes of Health that found excessive electronic media use can lead to physical and psychological problems.
Grimes' comments echo concerns raised by experts about the impact of excessive screen time on young people's mental health. Other experts have warned about the dangers of excessive screen time, including increased risk of depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders.
The Australian government has also launched initiatives to address the issue, providing funding for programs that promote healthy digital habits among young people. Resources such as Lifeline, Kids Helpline, and Headspace offer help to those in need who are struggling with their mental health due to excessive screen time.
