  • Over 80% of participants reported frequent exposure to social media, which was found to be positively associated with increased odds of anxiety (OR = 1.72) and a combination of depression and anxiety (OR = 1.91).
  • The findings indicate a need for government intervention to address mental health concerns and manage misinformation during public health emergencies.

@stefjordan @dani_danitsa @marivarella Não é ser contra isolamento. É avaliar os prejuízos acumulados em uma faixa etária específica. O aprendizado será recuperado, mas a saúde mental deixará marcas.

We weten allang dat #socialmedia niet goed samengaan met een goede #mentalhealth, dus hoe het voortschrijdend inzicht samengaat met zo’n elitaire babbelbox is mij werkelijk een raadsel. Wie begrijpt dit wel en legt mij uit? https://t.co/3eFMm4Nhw6

People who were often exposed to social media during the COVID pandemic resulted in higher chances of reporting depression or anxiety than those who used less social media. https://t.co/608x8Bo6wQ #FMPH40F20
