We’ve heard a lot about the dangers of social media.  And a lot of it is qualitative data.  Anecdotal stories that really hit us in our feels.  But I want to show you guys the real life stuff.  And so I connected with a Physician in Canada who sees medically just how dangerous social media can be for young kids.  So I brought her here on the show today!   Dr. Alison Yeung is a practicing family physician from Ontario, Canada. She has been practicing for the past 11 years, and over that time has becoming increasingly aware of the mental health crisis facing children and teens. After speaking with patients, and examining the research, it’s become clear that social media and video games are causing a significant deterioration in their mental health. She is hoping to raise awareness about this topic by educating parents, and providing strategies to reduce the harm caused by these devices
