Abstract

There is an urgent need for public attention to focus on a silent crisis affecting our youth, which is the complex, two-way relationship between loneliness and problematic media use (PMU). PMU refers to excessive engagement with social media, gaming, and smartphones - behaviours that are increasingly shaping how young people relate to the world and to themselves.
