What's the deal with social media and youth mental health?

Increased smartphone use and social media have been blamed for the rising mental health issues among young people. However, recent studies suggest that the relationship between social media and mental health is more complex. While the negative impact of social media cannot be ignored, positive experiences are also possible. Young people often face unrealistic standards and exposure to distressing content, but social media also provides connections, job opportunities, and mental health education. It is crucial to equip adolescents with skills to use social media safely and in a mentally healthy manner, emphasizing critical evaluation, cyberbullying response, and promoting balance with other activities. Social media companies also need to play a role in safeguarding young users' wellbeing.
