The Impact of Social Media on Mental Health
One of the main factors contributing to mental health issues today, particularly anxiety and depression, is the increased use of social media. Studies have shown that the rates of suicide, depression, and anxiety have been on the rise, especially among younger generations like Gen Z. The constant exposure to social media can lead to feelings of inadequacy, FOMO (fear of missing out), and a lack of true connection. Stoicism can provide a valuable tool in addressing mental health issues by encouraging individuals to focus on what they can control, letting go of comparisons, and finding meaning beyond social media.
