For the past two decades, social media has become a mixed blessing that we all use to cure our boredom, portray the best versions of ourselves, or catch up with family and friends. There are a wide range of benefits that come from social media, like connecting with those who are important to us, for gathering information, and for self-expression. However, while there are positive uses for social media, there are physiological effects on our brains that affect our dopaminergic pathways and thus our mental health.
Join Elex with her cohost Katie as they go through the history of social media, why we are so addicted to it, along with the sensors on social media that could be having a negative effect on each and every one of us.
