Screen Time as a factor for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children: A Systematic Review

This study examined the relationship between children’s screen time and the potential development of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Through analysis of various credible sources over the past decade, including Google Scholar and PubMed Central, a significant correlation between increased screen time and the exacerbation of ADHD symptoms was identified. The research suggested that prolonged screen exposure heightened the risk of developing ADHD and intensified its severity. Additionally, excessive screen usage was found to disrupt sleep patterns and undermine healthy eating habits. This review emphasized the importance of effectively managing ADHD symptoms to potentially mitigate the likelihood of its onset and enhance the overall well-being of children diagnosed with the disorder.
