📱 Is Social Media Really That Bad? 🤔 We’ve all heard the warnings—social media addiction, constant scrolling, and the effects on mental health. But is it as bad as it seems?

With the rise of platforms like TikTok and Instagram, the pandemic has only made this more pronounced, especially for teens in the UK. But it’s not all bad news! For most, social media is a lifeline, helping to stay connected with friends and the world around us. The key is balance—finding a way to manage screen time without letting it take over.

Social media deeply impacts our mental health. It can fuel anxiety, depression, and FOMO (fear of missing out), especially in teens and young adults. Filters create false illusions, and constant exposure to highlight reels can lower self-esteem. To improve your relationship with social media, set time limits, prioritize in-person connections, and engage in fulfilling activities outside your phone. At Impact Consulting, we support new regulations to promote safe and mental health; we always care about providing healthful and insightful content to our customers and partners. Learn more about managing social media use for better mental health. #MentalHealth #SocialMedia #Wellbeing #ImpactConsulting For detailed insights, visit the UC Davis Health article: https://ow.ly/TFjv50SxZCL
