The Effect of Screen Time on Our Brain

Show Guest: Britten Devereau

Self-regulation and self-management are critical components to mental health, self-efficacy and social connectivity. But our modern habits are corrosive, changing mood, cognition and behavior. The lights and stimuli from screens stress our anatomy, and screen time (TV, tablet, laptop, smartphone) causes repeated stress on the central nervous system. Such stress makes underlying mental health disorders more difficult to diagnose and treat.

Britten Devereau, co-founder of D’Amore Healthcare, an interesting look at the brain will reveal that our clinical practices must be flexible, adaptive, curious, energetic and stable to treat today’s patient. What makes us most human is what is least computable about us - the connections between our mind and our body, the experiences that shape our memory, our thinking and our capacity for empathy and emotion. - Weizenbaum, MIT Computer Scientist.
