Social Media and Mental Health

In the last few years, depression and anxiety rates have increased by 30% in teenagers. While there is no concrete explanation for this increase in depression, anxiety, and suicidal tendencies in younger people, there could be a cultural explanation, and that’s the massive rise of social media usage.

Anger is often a sign that someone is struggling to process or cope with more profound emotions. When a person doesn’t know how to solve a problem or is in an unfamiliar situation, anger is a common reaction, especially in teens, as they struggle more than others often lacking experience or coping skills to deal with complex emotions.
