    Child Psychiatrist: Screen Time Isn't Main Threat to Kids

    Child psychiatrist Dr. Jonathan Slater argues that excessive focus on screen time distracts from America's failure to provide adequate mental health care for children. He contends the real danger is compulsive device use among kids already struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma, not total screen hours, and calls for expanded evidence-based treatment and insurance coverage instead of blanket time limits.
