Do you think screen time causes anxiety?

Do you think screen time, especially video games cause anxiety or anger even? Just to throw this in What about unsupervised internet time? I have a friend who’s 8 year old son has a room dedicated to gaming, he games most evenings and most of the weekend. She says he has anxieties, does not do as he is told and Has a lot of tantrums. She will not consider that all the screen time he has could be damaging him. Do you agree with me?

I would say that my daughter (7yo) acts considerably worse when she has been watching too much Netflix but I'm not sure you are correct with this. My brother used to have tantrums etc and liked to retreat into a world of his own, with lego then eventually war hammer then gaming when it became available, I just think some people are like that, it's nothing to do with gaming.

Yes definately.. especially when unsupervised, they can be watching/ exposed to anything
