Description

Roxana Șipoș and co-authors study screen habits and social anxiety in teens with ADHD, in a paper from 2024. Screen use rose a great deal during the pandemic years. For teens with attention problems, heavy digital use may link to anxiety in ways that are not yet clear.

The study group was close to one hundred teens aged eleven to eighteen, all with an ADHD diagnosis. Teens filled in surveys on daily digital activity and anxiety, and caregivers added background facts. A learning method then searched for links among screen time, ADHD severity, and anxiety signs. Average screen time was high on both school days and weekends, with social media the top activity, above all for girls. Some anxiety traits, such as physical symptoms and fear of harm, predicted time on social media.
