We focus on the screen time, but what about the invisible echo of the feed running through our teens’ everyday life?

In Episode 8 of Mindful Mondays, Chiromo Hospital Group tackles the uncomfortable truth about the digital age: The Algorithm’s Wake: From Screen to Real-World Impact (Part 2: The Darker Current). 

We are moving past surface-level "screen time" debates to examine how algorithms actively serve distress, why adolescent pain has been weaponized as social currency, and how online spaces have turned depression into a digital aesthetic where getting better means losing community. When digital distress offers connection that offline life doesn't, kids aren't just scrolling, they're seeking survival. We believe these are the conversations we can no longer afford to avoid.

Join us as we break down the clinical realities, platform accountability, and how we bridge the gap between what teens allow us to see or even tell their therapists and what they hide in their phones.

A teenager’s world doesn’t end when the screen turns off. Sometimes, what happens online follows them into how they live, think, and connect.

Growing up online can be complicated. Behind the likes, comments, notifications, and endless scrolling is a young person still trying to understand who they are, where they belong, and how they fit into the world. The pressure to keep up, be seen, and measure up can quietly become overwhelming leaving many young people feeling anxious, isolated, or not good enough.

Watching teens navigate a world they can’t always see or understand can bring a different kind of worry wondering whether to step in, how to set healthy boundaries, or how to support them without making them feel misunderstood or controlled.

Join us for Mindful Mondays: Growing Up Online as we unpack how algorithms shape what young people see, explore the emotional and psychological impact of digital spaces, and share practical ways to create healthier relationships with technology.

Teenagers deserve digital spaces that support their growth not ones that compromise their well-being.

Beyond the scroll: How AI, algorithms and social media are shaping the teenage experience.

This Mindful Monday, we’re exploring “The Algorithm & The Adolescent” a multidisciplinary discussion on how algorithms and digital spaces are shaping the experiences of today’s teens.

From what they see on their feeds to how they use social media and AI for information, advice and connection, there’s more to the digital experience than meets the eye. How much influence does the algorithm have on the way our teens think, choose and navigate the world?

Join us as we unpack these questions and create space for a meaningful conversation about teens, technology and growing up online.

As social media becomes part of everyday teenage life, some young people are turning to AI for advice, comfort and conversations about anxiety, depression and the challenges they face. But what happens when an algorithm becomes the first place they turn to when they’re struggling?

This discussion brings together Dr. Ann Miriti, Psychiatry Registrar at Chiromo Hospital Group and Gathoni Mbugua, Clinical Psychologist and Head of Digital Relations at Chiromo Hospital Group, to unpack these emerging realities and what they mean for adolescents, parents, caregivers and the wider community.

Technology is an important part of how today’s teens learn, connect and navigate the world around them. Understanding how algorithms and AI influence their choices, perspectives and online experiences can help us create more informed and meaningful digital spaces for young people.

Let’s have the conversation and understand the world our teens are growing up in.
