Bath (England) [UK]: According to a new research, social media break for just a week improves individual's overall level of well-being, as well as reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety which helps people manage their mental health. The findings of the research were published in the journal 'Cyberpsychology Behavior and Social Networking'.
The study, carried out by a team of researchers at the University of Bath, studied the mental health effects of a week-long social media break. For some participants in the study, this meant freeing-up around nine hours of their week which would otherwise have been spent scrolling Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and TikTok.
