Social Media and Mental Health

Many of us rely on social media platforms to find and connect with each other. While each has its benefits, it’s important to remember that social media can never be a replacement for real-world human connection. Since it’s a relatively new technology, there’s little research to establish the long-term consequences, good or bad, of social media use. However, multiple studies have found a strong link between heavy social media and an increased risk for depression, anxiety, loneliness, self-harm, and even suicidal thoughts. Join us as we discuss about these topics.
