The Impact of Social Media on Mental Health

kals0222

Social media has become a ubiquitous part of our daily lives, but what impact is it having on our mental health? There is a growing body of research that suggests social media use may be linked to increased rates of anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns.

On the other hand, some argue that social media can have positive effects, such as providing a sense of community and support, and connecting individuals with similar interests and experiences.

What do you think? Has social media impacted your mental health in any way? How do you manage your social media use to ensure it doesn't negatively impact your well-being? Do you believe social media has a net positive or negative effect on mental health?

  • All I have really found with Social Media is it is a world of ignorance and I have the task of demonstrating why so many people are wrong or need them to think in a different way to decide if they believe they are still right or in some fight against the organisation.

    All the answers are out there and there are enough conflicting arguments for you to tailor a position you believe is right with a reason behind the position rather than just blurting out some stupidity whilst referring to a single example to justify a position i.e. smoking is not bad for you because Doris smoked 60/ days since she was 11 and died aged 94 from natural causes.

    My argumentative side makes Social Media tiring for me and is therefore most likely a bad thing but I do learn new things.

    As for Social Media and body perfect... I don;t believe I am affected in any way other than recalling my youth in the student bar, on a lads holiday etc... rather than spending my time documenting myself from a room and missing out on life experiences.
