La dépression chez les jeunes
De nombreux questionnaires tentent de cibler les enfants en détresse en adaptant les questions des adultes avec des termes plus simples. «La pêche aux symptômes s’avère souvent hasardeuse et on court le risque de ramasser trop de jeunes dans ses filets, par peur d’en laisser échapper», annonce Cécile Rousseau, chercheuse en psychiatrie sociale et culturelle à l’université McGill.

Pas de douteĚý: les jeux vidĂ©o, c’est du sĂ©rieux. Faut-il pour autant les intĂ©grer au programme scolaireĚý? C’est beaucoup moins certain. QuĂ©bec devrait d’abord s’intĂ©resser Ă l’impact des Ă©crans sur les jeunes, comme l’a proposĂ© rĂ©cemment le dĂ©putĂ© AndrĂ© Fortin.
Les Ă©crans ne sont pas seulement interactifs, ils sont aussi adhĂ©sifs. Comment en dĂ©coller les enfants est une prĂ©occupation constante pour de nombreux parents, y compris l’étĂ©. Tout ce temps passĂ© Ă jouer et Ă regarder des vidĂ©os est-il dommageableĚý?

Fabrice Jollant (Ď㽶ĘÓƵ) looked to isolated groups with very high rates of suicide for clues, such as the Palawan of a particular valley in the Philippines.
