- Adolescents with high mobile phone use reported a history of suicidal ideation, planning, and attempts.
- Self-harming behaviors were also linked to high-intensity mobile phone use in this population.
- The findings suggest that addressing interpersonal issues and depression could be crucial in reducing these risks.
