So we're going to do a little social media addiction test tonight to see if you are addicted to social media.
Picture this: you're reaching for your phone first thing in the morning, eager to see the latest updates. It's a routine many of us know all too well. In this episode of 'Urban Tools for Change', Dr. Lisa LaCon dives into the complex world of social media addiction and its profound impact on mental health. She breaks down how the instant gratification and dopamine rush we get from likes and shares can become dangerously addictive.
But it's not all doom and gloom—Dr. LaCon also highlights the positive side of social media, like how it connects people across the globe who might never have met otherwise. She uses Kevin Samuels' rise to fame as a case study to illustrate both the benefits and pitfalls of these platforms. From the interplay between makeup trends and social media to practical tips on how to unplug, this episode offers a balanced view on a topic that affects us all.
If you've ever felt overwhelmed by your social media habits or just curious about its effects, this episode is a must-listen. Dr. LaCon's compassionate and insightful approach will leave you thinking twice about your next scroll.
