How does social media affect your mental health?

I don’t spend much time on social media unless it’s for work or to build my audience for my business. I only use a business profile on Facebook and chose to deactivate my personal account to focus on my mental well-being. To be honest, using my personal Facebook account had a negative effect on my mental health, which is what led me to make that decision. How does social media affect your mental health?

How social media affects your mental health totally depends on how you let it affect you. There are a lot of people who fall into depression due to what they see online.

Yes, if you don't have strong or healthy mental health, it can definitely affect you. Even a small issue can have a negative impact on someone's mental well-being, especially for those who have been struggling with their mental health for a long time.

Likewise, I have chosen to deactivate my personal account. Not everyone maintains healthy mental well-being, and such negativity can influence me, as I easily absorb the feelings of those around me.
