  • Are You Using Social Media or Is Social Media Using You? The Dangers of Social Media and Why I'm Taking a Break from It
    May 7 2024

    In the digital age, the concept of a social media detox is growing in popularity as a way to combat the negative effects of constant online presence. Lance Essihos, a firm advocate for this concept, believes that excessive use of social media can lead to a range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and feelings of inadequacy. From his perspective, taking regular breaks from social media is essential for mental health and overall well-being, as it allows individuals to reconnect with themselves, reduce stress, and improve their quality of life. This perspective is shaped by Essihos' emphasis on the importance of self-care and mental wellness in our digitally dominated world.
