    I don’t have time to review all the research that has been done on the topic, but fortunately others have done a review of the existing studies:

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9200624/ concludes “Despite the fears held around wireless technologies, we believe that at this stage there is not enough evidence supporting a causal negative relationship between MP/WD use and children and adolescent’s mental health to justify particular public health interventions.”

    And this isn’t a review, but here’s one additional study:

    https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2022/11/children-mobile-phone-age.html says “Stanford Medicine researchers did not find a connection between the age children acquired their first cell phone and their sleep patterns, depression symptoms or grades.”

      So I did a quick search through the scholarly literature and the results are overwhelmingly the opposite of your claim. So much so that I wouldn’t even know which studies to link (there are thousands). Science isn’t perfect and statistics alone guarantee many ambiguous results, some of which you seem to have found.

        It would help if you could link to at least one of the thousands. What’s one you think makes a strong case? I’m not sure if you’re referring to actual studies or, maybe, confusing blog posts and “expert” opinions with actual studies.
