A 2023 meta-analysis published in the journal *Reviews on Environmental Health* found that excessive screen exposure may be a significant contributor to the development of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children.

The report analyzed nine studies encompassing more than 81,000 children, including nearly 29,000 who had been diagnosed with ADHD. The analysis revealed that children exposed to more than two hours of screen time each day had significantly higher rates of ADHD compared to those whose daily screen time was limited to two hours or less.

Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that reducing children’s screen time could help prevent the occurrence of ADHD.
