Isabelle Camp is one of a growing number of young people turning to Instagram and TikTok for health advice. They say a social media ban is not the answer.
Isabelle Camp’s parents did everything they could to shield her from the harmful side of social media.
“Growing up, I really struggled to make friends, and social media became a way for me to talk to people,” she said. “It also became a safe place for me to talk to my friends about my mental health, about what I was going through, and I was able to see people who were like me and be like, ‘OK, maybe the quirky little kid I am now isn’t going to be me forever.’ ”
That came as no surprise to Professor Ian Hickie, co-director of health and policy at Sydney University’s Brain and Mind Centre, who said traditional mental health services were “not designed for young people”.
