I think it’s clear that social media (or more broadly, “the internet”), is exacerbating mental health issues. At the very same time, the ability to connect with people around the world is undoubtedly also reducing mental health issues (for some) by building bridges to friendships and social connections they otherwise would not have.
It is a double edged sword. The internet serves to amplify the extremes. At least that is the conclusion I draw.
