Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Psychiatry
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Extensive use of electronic devices among children and adolescents has raised concerns, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Internalizing disorders like anxiety and depression are a growing public health issue in young populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between screen time and internalizing disorders in individuals aged 18 and under.
  • To synthesize current scientific literature on screen time and mental health outcomes in youth.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic review of scientific publications from 2019 to early 2022.
  • Searched major databases (Cochrane, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, PsycINFO) using keywords related to screen time, youth, and psychiatric disorders.
  • Evaluated study quality using NIH checklists for observational cohort studies.

Main Results:

  • Included 12 studies with 14,483 participants, revealing a negative correlation between screen time and behavioral outcomes.
  • Smartphones were the most common devices; video games were prevalent among older youth.
  • Depression prevalence ranged from 10% to 25%, with anxiety and depression predicting increased screen use.

Conclusions:

  • Increased screen time is indirectly associated with higher risks of anxiety and depression in young individuals.
  • Recommendations include limiting screen time exposure and strengthening parental supervision to mitigate mental health risks.
