- Not the correct response: Leading Qld child and youth psychiatrist on social media ban - After the federal parliament passed legislation to ban people under 16 from having a social media account in Australia, child and youth psychiatrist Professor James Scott, has weighed in, saying a blanket ban may not assist with young people’s mental health and may cause unintended harms. Professor Scott, Director of Youth Services at Ramsay Clinic New Farm, says other interventions are needed including education and good modelling by parents and carers. “There is no doubt social media is impacting the mental health of many young people,” Professor Scott said. “I have seen social media lead to body image issues, eating disorders, low self-esteem, anxiety, cyber-bullying and online sexual victimisation. But a ban for people under a certain age is a blunt response to a very vexing challenge. We need to ensure that once these kids turn 16, they’re well equipped to know how to use social media wisely.
