| Summary: | I recently came across a CNN article1 that discussed social media’s impact on mental health. It highlightedthe findings of a UK-based study conducted by the RoyalSociety for Public Health, and involved around 1,500 young people aged between 14 to 24 years.

Snapchat came closely behind, followed by Facebook and Twitter. YouTube, on the other hand, was found to have a positive effect on mental health. |
