Keep in mind there's a direct correlation between "screen time" and depression...

Meaning that kids that spend 5+ hours per day on their phones are depressed. Up to one hour had no noticeable effects. [0]

Now think about why a kid would self-isolate for 5 hours a day and it might give you a clue about why they are depressed in the first place (hint, it's not the magical screen!).
