In this podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan Haidt discusses the impact of smartphones on mental health, particularly in children and teenagers. He highlights the significant increase in anxiety, depression, and self-harm rates among young girls starting around 2012, which he refers to as the "Great Rewiring of Childhood." The rise in mental health issues can be attributed to various factors related to smartphone use, including the amount of time spent on social media, exposure to harmful content, disrupted sleep patterns, increased blue light exposure, and sedentary behavior.
