There Are Major Links To Depression
Psychologists have found major links between social media use and anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts.

Conversely, the study found that reducing social media usage can make you feel less lonely and isolated and improve your overall well-being.” It seems counterintuitive, but the more you practice putting the phone down, you may realize just how disastrous it can be for your mental well-being. That leads us to our next point.
