‘Screen time’ causing, exacerbating childhood psychiatric disorders | Rothman

The Reno Gazette – Annette Rothman

Working in the world of child and adolescent psychiatry as an advanced practice nurse, I frequently hear about symptoms of irritability, anger, isolation and poor sleep from my patients. These symptoms are common to many childhood psychiatric disorders. These disruptive symptoms baffle parents, teachers and clinicians alike, and can lead to incorrect diagnoses for these children with dysregulated moods. https://www.rgj.com/story/opinion/voices/2018/12/05/screen-time-causing-exacerbating-childhood-psychiatric-disorders-rothman/2221571002/
