Not all tips on social media are helpful. Here’s how to consume mental health content in a safe way.
How does it make your body feel?
If a particular concept — such as trauma, attachment styles or meditation — jumps out at you, type it into the search bar and see what other creators are talking about it, Gintoli said. Are most other videos from licensed professionals, or is the topic a favorite among nonexperts? Check the comment sections as well. Are there lots of comments from mental health professionals disagreeing with the video’s claims?Social media isn’t the place to diagnose yourself or others, Gintoli said.
If a creator is diagnosing people online, unfollow. And remember that no diagnosis means you’re broken or unable to live a good life.“I try to explain to my clients and people in general, just because you meet the criteria for a disorder, it doesn’t mean that that’s part of your identity or that you will always meet the criteria for a disorder,” Olszanski said.The lines between social media and “real life” aren’t always as clear as we pretend they are.
