Teens to halve social media in bold mental health experiment

This study tests a program called REWIRE for teens aged 12-17 who feel anxious or depressed and use social media over 3 hours daily. The program aims to cut social media use by about half and replace it with positive offline activities like hobbies or time with friends. Researchers will compare this group to one that only learns about social media health tips, tracking changes in mood, brain function, and daily habits over 12 weeks.
