Looks at the world's mental health issues post smartphone...
I'd say that's more to do with dropping stigma leading to better/more reporting rather than smartphones being some major cause of mental health issues. I'm sure they do cause some issues, but probably not much more than any other vice
And there's a lot of things that were just straight up not recognized.
People bitch about how there's "more" ADHD, but when I was a kid, the prevailing knowledge was that girls don't have ADHD. Cue the meteoric "rise" in cases.
(There's a million other things I could've used as an example but I used ADHD because I wasn't diagnosed until I was 36.)
Look at the world's mental health pre smartphone.
This ain't nothing new.
Let's look at mental health issues pre smartphone:
LGBT+? You're insane.
Disobedient wife? You're insane.

Smartphone or social media?
