I am deeply concerned about the adverse impact of social media on mental health, reflecting on the wealth of stories I have heard over many years from clinicians, including from our accident and emergency departments. There are too many tragic cases where children and young people are experiencing trauma or have died by suicide or injury, following what they have seen or been subjected to on social media. The list of harms is so long it would take more time than I am allowed to set them all out with real-life case studies.
