While social media may not be the primary cause of depression and mental health concerns, it is still indispensable to limit its usage. It can lead to negative comparisons, cyberbullying, and disturbed sleep. The impact of social media differs, and if you have existing mental health issues, make sure to seek advice from a mental health professional. Instead of spending too much time on social media, try to step outside to breathe some fresh air, read an inspirational book, or learn a new hobby or skill.
