Dr. Phil Schools ‘The View’ on Children’s Mental Health Amid C0VlD-19

Renowned psychologist Dr. Phil McGraw dominated “The View” on Monday, dissecting the impact of the C0VlD-19 pan demic on children’s mental health.

He highlighted the detrimental effects of prolonged school closures, attributing a significant shift in behavior to the advent of smartphones in the late 2000s.

Dr. Phil underscored a concerning surge in depression, anxiety, and suicidality since then. Critically questioning school shutdown decisions, he emphasized the importance of the support system schools provide for children.

Responding to queries about C0VlD-19 risks, he argued that children were less vulnerable and criticized the mismanagement of the pandemic’s consequences. His final assertion, labeling it a fact, resonated strongly with the audience.
