Researchers have a seriously stark warning for you.
To address this, and help people’s mental health, researchers have developed and evaluated social media interventions. While limiting or entirely abstaining from social media have been used, the researchers found that when this is done alongside therapy based techniques such as CBT, there is greater success in recovery.
