In this episode of Angst, hosts Donnie and Stephanie dive into the impact of social media on mental health.
They engage in a candid discussion about the double-edged sword of social media—outlining its potential to either exacerbate anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues, or to foster community, support, and opportunities for learning and professional development.
Through personal anecdotes, they highlight the importance of intentional use, setting boundaries, and the real-life value of enhancing offline relationships to balance out the digital onslaught of today's connected world.
