Scientists prove that the internet does not harm mental health

December 4, 2023

Scientists have proven that the internet does not harm mental health. They have studied the data of two million people aged 15 to 89 in 168 countries and concluded that the spread of the internet does not significantly harm psychological well-being. They compared information on the number of internet users, subscriptions, and the use of mobile broadband access with indicators of anxiety and depression. The research results showed that over the past two decades, there have been only small and inconsistent changes in global well-being and mental health.
