J. Flower’s Health Institute’s Response to Addiction to Social Media
Description
Our own Arti Patel LCSW-S, primary therapist, responds to the article in the Houston Chronicle titled, “Addiction to Social Media Requires a Hard Reset” and “Facebook whistleblower is telling my daughter’s story, mental health struggles” by Lucas Masllorens. The article starts out with a heavy hit, “A few months ago, when the pandemic seemed to be receding and we had a first glimpse of what normal life could be again, my wife and I realized that our 13-year-old daughter had become addicted to social media.” Arti Patel discuses social media addiction and a specific case study at J. Flowers Health Institute.
