What are the effects of social media on mental health?

[freelancermaria]

The impact of social media on mental health varies widely from person to person. Long-term usage of social media can be harmful for someone like me who has suffered from poor mental health, especially if exposed to toxicity. It can also get addicting, which is why I limit my usage. If you can relate to this situation, it may also have a negative impact on you. If social media is causing you discomfort, speak with a mental health professional and remember to set boundaries.
