Social Media and Mental Health

Some studies have found that social media may cause social anxiety. If you are experiencing any mental health concerns and you think it may be related to social media, you can get in contact with your GP or online search for tools to support you.

Social media profoundly shapes relationships, self-esteem, and communication, influencing social dynamics and emotional well-being.

It depends. Everyone has different platforms they like to engage with, which can impact them differently. Social media is a great place to connect and engage with the broader community, which is beneficial. Although social media has some harmful impacts, individuals are encouraged to assess the harmfulness and benefits of their consumption.
