Dr. Vivek Murthy appealed for warning labels on social media apps to remind users of the significant mental health harms for adolescents and highlight that 'social media has not been proved safe.'
Dr. Murthy sees social media as a key contributor to the mental health crisis. He believes labels would remind young people and parents of the potential risks and lack of safety in using these platforms.
The Surgeon General emphasizes the need for vigilance regarding adolescents' social media use. Data shows that heavy usage can lead to a higher risk of anxiety and depression symptoms.
