There are many ways through which people waste their time daily, and with the technology growing, most of us spend unproductive time on social media in a large amount. The usage of social media has increased tremendously from the last couple of years, and many people have said that it consumes lots of their time, yet they are addicted to it. Now a recent health study shows something positive about it because researchers think that social media can improve mental health of a person. A study done by researchers from Michigan State University said that daily usage of social media and the internet might be useful for mental health, and it can also reduce problems like depression or anxiety.
Researchers from Michigan State University think social media can help bring people together in many ways, and it’s good for health. People on social media are connected with their friends and family members. If they are living far away from their homes, then the usage of these things might be useful for them. Many people feel homesick or related things when they are missing their closed ones, but with social media, they can easily connect with their beloved ones. After examining many social media users, researchers found that more than 63% of total social media users have not experienced any severe psychological problems like depression or anxiety.
Those who are connected with their family members on social media have found to be in good mental health situation than any others. Even though experts agree that over usage of social media can cause problems, but if used wisely, then it can be an excellent tool to fight against severe psychological issues. Maintaining good mental health situation is becoming hard for people, but with this recent health study, we can firmly say that people might be correctly using social media.
