The first part of the book addresses threats resulting from the growing reliance on, and misuse of, digital technology, such as problematic Internet and video game use, use of digital technology to harm other people, and promotion of suicide on the Internet. The second part examines the ways in which digital technology has boosted efforts to help people with mental health problems. These include the use of computers, the Internet, and mobile phones to educate and provide information necessary for psychiatric treatment and to produce programs for psychological therapy, as well as use of electronic mental health records to improve care.
