Catch Up with Louise McSharry
Catch Up on Internet Addiction with Dr. Amy Watchorn
Season 1, Ep. 372
•
I think it's fair to say we talk about the internet, our usage, and the way it's impacting our lives frequently on the podcast, so when I learned of Dr. Amy Watchorn's area of expertise, I thought a chat might be useful. She is Senior Clinical Psychologist at St. John of God University Hospital, where she often encounters issues around the internet through her work.
Amy features in a new podcast series by St John of God University Hospital called ‘Stigma Shift’, which is designed to make expert, evidence-based mental health information accessible to the wider public. Stigma Shift is available now on Spotify, Apple and all major podcast platforms.
