Social Media and Mental Health
Jonathan Haidt discusses the impact of social media on mental health, particularly for girls. He explains the gender differences in how boys and girls are affected by social media, with girls being more prone to internalizing disorders and relational aggression. Haidt suggests that the evidence linking social media to bad mental health outcomes is not complete, but experiments show that getting off social media for a few weeks can lead to direct improvements in mental health.In this clip
