Impact of Social Media on the Nervous System
Social media platforms constantly surveil and provide feedback, keeping individuals in a hyper-vigilant state. The algorithmic monitoring and evaluation create a sense of being constantly surveyed, impacting individuals' nervous systems. This leads to a heightened protective mode and a distraction from deep human connections, affecting mental health and overall well-being.
