Paragraph 2
Dr Murthy has campaigned for
controls of social media for many
. In 2023, he warned that social media presented, "a
risk of harm to the mental health and well-being of children and
". His recent warning is in a guest
published by The New York Times. He wrote: "The mental health
among young people is an emergency. Social media has emerged as an
contributor." He has concerns about how long young people spend online. He said
"who spend more than three hours a day on social media face double the risk of
and depression symptoms". Murthy thinks online warnings will help, just as warnings on
have helped.
