The impact of Social Media on Mental Health

September 10th is World Suicide Prevention Day. The new episode of TSL Podcast raises awareness between the relationship of Social Media and its adverse effects on Mental Health. The three topics I'm delving on include: 1. Cyber-bullying 2. Lowered Self-Esteem 3.
