Consultant Psychiatrist Dr. Chenelle Joseph is urging legislators in Antigua and Barbuda to impose age restrictions on social media due to global concerns about children’s exposure to harmful content.
She references Australia’s plans for an age verification trial to highlight the importance of limiting access.
Additionally, Dr. Joseph advocates for mandatory mental health evaluations for gun license applicants, aiming to enhance safety, even with the country’s low firearm-related suicide rates.
Her concerns echo similar discussions in the U.S. about social media’s impact on youth.
