Social Media Mental Health

Do you ever feel that visiting social media is an increasingly negative experience? Social media taps into some of our most profound human weaknesses and makes it almost impossible to live without the temptation of comparing yourself to others, seeking their approval, or arguing with each other.

Was als linke Identitätspolitik einst progressiv gedacht war, hat längst die Schwelle zu einer militanten Ideologie überschritten, analysiert die Psychologin Esther Bockwyt.
