Mental Health Minute
Mental Health and Social Media
Social media has its benefits, but it also has its drawbacks. Excessive use of social media can cause mental health issues like depression and anxiety. The U.S. Surgeon General has identified it as an urgent public health issue, and as such, issued an advisory this year (https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/sg-youth-mental-health-social-media-advisory.pdf).
Implementing ways to manage social media use can help decrease negative effects. Setting boundaries for use can include limiting screen time (there are usually easy ways to set timers on specific apps). Connect with friends and follow topics that interest you. Limit negative interactions by keeping your newsfeed positive. Don’t believe everything you read - check the source for news information to verify its accuracy. Protect your privacy by not sharing personal information. Even though your social media account may be set to private, anyone who follows or friends you can screenshot and share anything you post online. For more information on how to have healthy social media habits, visit https://www.mhanational.org/youth-tech/dos-of-social-media.
