She Traced the Teen Mental Health Collapse Back to Smartphones
Dr. Alison Yeung is a family physician and mom of two who built a community of 125,000+ followers after spending a decade watching adolescent mental health visits climb in her practice — and connecting the dots back to smartphones and social media. In this episode, she breaks down what the research actually shows about screens and kids' developing brains, why Big Tech deserves more scrutiny than parents do, and practical steps families can take today — including her Six R's framework for navigating the digital world.
