Prolonged screen use among adolescents poses risks to mental health, including anxiety, depression, and suicidal tendencies. A recent World Health Organization study found that 11% of minors feel their lives are significantly impacted by devices, while 32% are at risk of problematic usage. Control Z, a platform launched by Mar Espana and involving 16 organizations, seeks to promote responsible technology use. Mental health professionals highlight the disparity between adolescents’ ability to express emotional challenges and the lack of adult support to address these issues, illustrating a growing trend of early-onset mental illnesses.
