sheet.
With the increase of social media use on a daily basis, it is important to explore how
digital media consumption is having an impact of body image, self-esteem, and overall mental
health. Because social media networking has changed the way people communicate and interact,
there are many ways this can potentially impact how a person views themselves and others.
While long-term research in these areas is still developing, some studies have shown that the
more time individuals spend on social media, the more likely they were to report symptoms of
depression, anxiety, and sleep disruptions
Other potential harmful side effects associated with social media use include risk of
cyberbullying, less opportunity for meaningful social interactions and human connections, and
low self-esteem and body dysmorphia.
According to Sarah Gracz, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Eating
Disorders Specialist at Aloria Health, social media use allows for easy comparison, especially in
a culture where self-confidence is heavily weighted on appearance and body types are often
compared. When it comes to understanding how body image can be impacted and shaped by
social media use, Ms. Gracz acknowledges the comparison trap that so many people can easily
fall into.
