Facebook. Twitter. Instagram. TikTok. Whatsapp. LinkedIn. YouTube. Reddit. The list of social media platforms literally at our fingertips is long, and ever-growing, as is the amount of research and articles written on the destructive impact of social media.

But is it all bad? How should you know whether social media is having a negative impact on your, or your loved ones? If you’re worried about your social media use, what can you do about it? Is this something a psychiatrist can help with?

It’s a knotty issue, and clinical psychologist Ms Ilse du Preez, and consultant psychiatrists Dr Florian Ruths and Dr Robert Harland talk us through the peaks and pitfalls of this most modern innovation.

Dr Harland references ‘The Anxious Generation’, by Jonathan Haidt, and you can find this here: https://www.anxiousgeneration.com/book
