[2] I have had recent realization on the amount that social media plays a part in my depression and anxiety. Because of this, I deleted all social media from my phone. Throughout this episode I discuss the "optical illusions" of social media and how it forces ones self to need validation when they don't. Social media can also expose our brains to large amounts of dopamine that can influence ones motivation. I also describe my process with deleting the apps and how it has affected my life.
