      Article présentant une opinion différente de celle généralement adoptée stipulant que l'utilisation des technologies a des impacts négatifs sur les jeunes. Dans cet article, le psychiatre Richard A. Freidman présente une opinion contraire stipulant que les effets ne sont pas aussi néfastes et alarmants que le mouvement ne le laisse paraître. Note : Cet article ne présente pas mon opinion, mais vaut la peine d'être présenté et ébranle également mon opinion sur le sujet. Je trouve pertinent de le présenter.
  • there is little evidence of an epidemic of anxiety disorders in teenagers
  • There are a few surveys reporting increased anxiety in adolescents
  • ...18 more annotations...
  • self-reported measures
  • overestimate the rates of disorders
  • not clinically significant syndromes
  • But it’s more likely that the epidemic is simply a myth. The more interesting question is why it has been so widely accepted as fact.

  • I believe, is that parents have bought into the idea that digital technology — smartphones, video games and the like — are neurobiologically and psychologically toxic
  • But, once again, these studies cannot tell us whether the brain abnormalities are the result of excessive internet use, or a pre-existing risk factor for it.

      Effets long terme sur le cerveau?
  • There is a difference between an anxiety disorder and everyday anxiety.
  • Teenagers — and people of all ages — will and should feel anxious occasionally.
  • What I have noticed is that more of my young patients worry a lot about things that don’t seem so serious, and then worry about their worry.

      Serions-nous, parents, trop facilement inquiets? Plus que les générations précédentes?
  • Why, I wondered, didn’t they know this without me?
  • The myth of an epidemic of anxiety disorder rooted in a generation’s overexposure to digital technology reveals an exaggerated idea about just how open to influence our brains really are.

  • Even when we are young and impressionable, our brains have molecular and structural brakes that control the degree to which they can be rewired by experience
  • So don’t assume that there’s something wrong with your kid every time he’s anxious or upset. Our teenagers — and their brains — are up to the challenges of modern life.
