Reply to "Anxiety, loneliness and Fear of Missing Out: The impact of social media on young people’s mental health"

Given the scope of this topic area, it seems necessary to "focus on our focus" and attend to  health aspects of PTU while keeping an eye on other aspects of PTU (such as technology, game design, business strategy and more).It seems that the concept of "balance" is critical. Exciting ways of conveying mental "balance" seems welcome for psychoeducation approaches. The premise is that if mental health is "in balance" then behavioral addiction or substance addiction will be less likely, less severe, and/or more easily treated. What do counsellors think based on their knowledge of human behavior and addiction development?
