Research studies, including from faculty at Weill Cornell Medicine, shows that youth who engage in maladaptive or addictive use of social media or mobile phones are at greater risk of emotional or behavioral issues, including suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts. Join us for a virtual discussion on the research surrounding patterns of compulsive or “addictive” use, and how these patterns can include feeling unable to stop using a device, experiencing distress when not using it or using it to escape from problems.
