When discussing the relationship between social media and mental health, the discourse tends to focus on negative connotations. Studies have shown that prolonged use of social media platforms can lead to depression and anxiety in some individuals.
However, is this the complete story?
On the other hand, there is evidence that suggests social media can actually have a positive impact on the mental health of some people.
Many studies now have pointed to individuals developing depression or anxiety as a result of time spent on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter.
But is this a full picture?
There is actually another side to the coin that suggests social media can actually be good for some people’s mental health.
The study found that those people who use social media, even on a daily basis, to connect and share information, had positive mental health outcomes.
