Do you actually have anything to add?

To throw in some anecdotal, I work in a school for behaviour problems, and most of those who aren't (currently) diagnosed with ASD or similar often complain about their parents doing this. |

To be fair he's not incorrect, social media is a huge contributor to the increase in child and adolescent mental health problems and emotionally absent parents are another big factor - although, I'd say that there are parenting issues (such as addiction) that are far more pressing than "looking at their phone too much".
I also personally don't think we can overlook the fact that the world just isn't a particularly welcoming or friendly place right now... not sure why we're so baffled that kids are growing up unhappy? |

So I post an article to back up my thoughts, and it's just "ridiculous comments"? But you can't explain why? Fair enough.

Oh, he's not wrong in terms of contributing factors. Just he has a "thing" about this epidemic of parents replacing their children with phones. It's bordering on offensive and entirely ignorant of actually deep rooted issues.

If you need me to explain why saying "Parents go on their phone too much" in response to a child mental health issue is ridiculous there's nothing I can do for you I'm afraid.

True, even when it does happen on a "chronic level" it's not like the parent just got a bit too fond of flappy bird. If someone is so glued to their phone that it's socially problematic, it's because they have an issue of their own... the inattentiveness is a symptom of the issue but not the issue itself.

Just demonises a section of people as materialistic and uncaring and not actually addressing the real reasons (ie. their own mental health problems). Last edited by Marsh.; 02-01-2020 at 09:50 PM. |

Who are you to tell me anything... where did you get your mortality rates?

Either way, it shows that without treatment the mortality rate is 1/5(!!) and drops to a tenth of that with treatment, so I'd say it's a pretty good argument in providing the service. |

Along with cyberbullying and "instagram culture" Or just maybe the rise of both social media and mental health issues is just a coincidence... |

As a matter of fact I do.. Eating disorders have the highest mortality rates among psychiatric disorders.*(10) Anorexia Nervosa has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric disorder in adolescence.*(11) Of those surviving, 50% recover, whereas 30% improve and 20% remain chronically ill.*(12) http://www.anorexiabulimiacare.org.uk/about/statistics

The story in the original post doesn't surprise me because a main priority in health spending is care for the elderly. If you look at the figures from the last 20 years mortality rates have gone down, and it means that they are dealing with more chronic conditions in an ageing population.
Also when this topic came up on the forum recently I suggested private mental health therapy was something worth looking into if you need it. |

They have nothing to offer to the young but high house prices, gig economy and paid higher education If only the young voted as religiously as the old...but they don't But whichever way you look at it less beds in mental health than 10 years ago is a crime. The less said about availability of therapy sessions the better. Private care is for the rich, not as an option for all bc nhs has been brought to its knees |

I will admit I go private for my mental health, but that's not at the recommendation of my GP or anything, just with everything else I have going on health-wise and my line of work, I think it best.

I was actually agreeing with you I absolutely think it should be treated quickly as possible.
