Integrative Child, Adolescent and Adult Psychiatrist | Internationally recognized expert on the negative impacts of screen time on the developing brain | Author, Reset Your Child's Brain My mission is to provide parents with kinder, gentler interventions for optimizing children's mental health, and to make changes that produce both short and long term gains. I frequently write and post others' articles about environmental effects--since these are things we can change--including the far-reaching effects of electronics and screentime on mood, behavior, cognition and social skills. As an integrative practitioner, I'm always looking for natural evidence-based treatments (supplements, food-based, exercise, light/circadian treatments, etc) that not only improve symptoms but reduce reliance on psychotropic medications.
