MENTAL HEALTH AND THE IMPACTS OF SOCIAL MEDIA.
Within the last 15 years, depression rates have grown 52% within the ages of 12 to 17. Rates have also increased within the ages of 18 to 25 by 63% in the last 10 years. By both of these rates drastically increasing, suicide has an overall increase by 71% in the last 11 years because of the idea of a perfect body image and peer pressure.
HOW THIS AFFECTS ALL OF OUR LIVES….
The mental health market reaches over 54 million people within the ages of 5-17 and 31 million people within the ages of 18-24.
What can we do..
Once a week, we can turn off social media to help spread awareness. What this will do is it will not only benefit us but it will give us the opportunity to create the conversation with others.
