3 Ways Social Media Hurt Mental Health During the Pandemic

General

The worldwide Pandemic and lockdown utterly changed the face of American social and corporate life. Forced to stay in our houses for months caused an unprecedented trend towards dependency on digital platforms. But even now, Americans’ face-to-face interactions take a back seat more and more to social media.

Though most Americans no longer need to remain at home, the year spent in isolation with only virtual communication as a constant companion has its lasting effects. 

1)Social Media causes increase in Anxiety and Depression 

Social media offers real time access to current news and events going on around the world. Thus, this constant exposure to tragedies and catastrophes occurring globally can be unsettling. The amount of people struggling with anxiety and depression has dramatically risen since lockdown began in 2022.

2)Social Media causes decrease in face-to-face interactions

Due to government mandates, social distancing became a way of life during the Pandemic. Consequently, this meant a massive drop in human interactions in Americans’ day to day lives. Digital social apps became a huge tool of communication with loved ones and strangers alike. But studies show that even social media interaction cannot replace face-to-face socialization. Even though the Pandemic is over, reliance on communication apps continues to rise. This means a steady decrease in actual human interactions.

3)Pressure to gain social clout 

In the digital age we live in, the pressure to become popular via apps like YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok only grows daily. The Pandemic accelerated this trend. These platforms, especially TikTok, gained millions of users seeking a boost in serotonin and companionship while in lockdown. With nothing to do but stay at home all day, many began to see social media apps as their ticket to popularity and success during the Pandemic. It became the hot new scene since high school and college starting going virtual. All the issues plaguing modern schools like bullying and worship of popularity transferred to social media platforms. 

If you are struggling with your mental health and want answers, begin by discovering the right healthcare provider for you.

BetterHelp makes it possible to quickly and seamlessly connect with the right mental health expert. Moreover, apps like Calm provide guided meditations and peaceful audio to listen to at night to ease anxiety. These are just a couple examples of the booming self-care app industry you can take advantage.

2) Take care of your physical health by with daily exercise

Whether making a trip to the gym a daily routine or going for a run through your neighborhood each morning, exercise is a proven way to boost your mental and physical health. 

3) Start a skincare routine

In 2022, you have a huge catalog of skincare products to choose from. You can even personalize a product based on your individual skin type. Take five minutes every day to apply sunscreen, moisturizer or cleanser to your skin. Making even a little bit of time to do so daily is proven to boost serotonin levels in the brain and of course give your skin a nice glow. 

4) Do something you love

Do you enjoy reading or talking walks? Maybe you love exploring your city and finding new spots to eat. Whatever it might be, identify something you love and try setting some time aside every day or week to dedicate yourself to that pastime. 

These are just a few examples of how you can start implementing self-care into your daily life. It never hurts to have peace of mind, so why not start by making sure you have the best insurance plan that fits your needs, lifestyle, and income.
