We now know that it's making us lonelier and we're seeing an increase in cases of depression and anxiety. But it doesn't stop there. Loneliness can seem non-threatening. After all, everyone feels lonely from time to time. But that's exactly what makes it so potentially dangerous.
Have you ever wondered if your time on social media is doing more harm than good? In this episode of TDH Voice, the focus is on the surprising ways social media can affect our mental health. Since Facebook sparked the social media boom nearly 15 years ago, we've had enough time to see some clear patterns emerging, and they aren't all positive.
The episode dives into how platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter might be contributing to feelings of loneliness, depression, and anxiety. You’ll hear about studies that link heavy social media use to these mental health issues, offering a sobering look at how our online lives can impact our offline well-being. But it's not all doom and gloom. The guests share practical advice on how to manage your social media habits better.
Ever thought about doing a digital detox or setting strict time limits on your app usage? These are just a couple of the strategies discussed to help you foster a healthier relationship with your screens. By the end of the episode, you'll be encouraged to put down your phone and truly engage with the world around you. This isn't just about cutting back; it's about reclaiming your mental space and well-being.
