Lets we can
easily view the present trend to spread of social networking at the internet
era.Can the Internet and social media be harmful to children's mental
health? Australian psychiatrists believe
this may be the case.
The Royal
Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) reportedly
released a position statement assessing the positive and negative impacts of
medium usage across youths.
“There are
particular concerns regarding the impact of media on children and young people
with identified mental health difficulties, but all children are potentially
vulnerable,” RANZCP president Dr. Maria Tomasic is quoted as having said.
She added that
families and people working with children need to be aware of the range of
issues that media impacts upon, to provide optimal advice, support and care.
Dubbed "The
impact of media on vulnerable children and adolescents," the position
statement assesses both positive and negative impacts of medium usage across
youthful audiences.
RANZCP Chair Dr.
Nick Kowalenko said social media sites provide young people with opportunities
to stay connected with friends, family and the world, and develop technical,
creative and social skills.
He added there
are health benefits from the media with the Internet providing information
about health problems of relevance to young people such as stress, anxiety,
depression and physical disorders.
