The Impact of Social Media on Mental Health Awareness

Can social media do more harm than good when it comes to understanding mental health? With social media becoming a popular source for learning about mental health, a troubling trend has emerged: the misuse of mental health terminology by people lacking proper understanding or expertise. This misuse can lead to misinformation, misinterpretation, and potential harm. Join Tracey Murry, PhD, and co-host Kaitlyn Heckel, a digital content specialist at Ochsner Health, as they take a closer look at the intersection of mental health awareness and the growing trend of self-diagnosis on social media.
