I have a theory that the huge decline in mental health in teenagers is more due to social media than pandemic related issues. What are your thoughts on this?

I was reading this a couple of days ago and it really confirmed what I was already thinking. I'm not saying that the pandemic and isolation it may have caused had no effect, but I feel like everyone is pointing to that as the sole reason, when I do not believe it is.

To be honest I believe people are pointing to school closings as a easy blame for mental health issues in kids because it's easier to blame someone else than to accept responsibility as a parent that you are not monitoring your child's harmful social media use
