My guest for this episode is Dr. Brian Primack, who is the Dean of the College of Education and Health Professions at the University of Arkansas. He has a unique skillset with a background in both human development and psychology along with an M.D. in Family Medicine. He shares his perspective on the impact of the changes in technology (especially social media) on health outcomes. We discuss how during the pandemic, technology and social media are providing a lifeline for those who are isolated, and at the same time how the use of social media is linked to mental health issues such as depression and anxiety.
