TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - Social media is addictive and influences behavior: should it be regulated as a digital therapeutic? JO - Journal of medical internet research A1 - Perakslis, Eric A1 - Quintana, Yuri SP - e43174 EP - e43174 VL - 25 IS - N2 - Recently, we were deeply saddened by the findings of the coroner investigating the death of 14-year-old Molly Russell. Deeply saddened and angry but not surprised. This case should be seen as a sentinel event, given that this is the first time social media was directly implicated as a cause of death. We should use this opportunity to advance proposals for the regulations of the health effects of social media.
