Robinson, L. (2023, March 29). Social Media and Mental Health. HelpGuide.org.

In this article Robinson, L sates various factors on the impacts of social

media on the mental health and give examples on the negative and positive

impacts it brings. The authors use data gained through meditation,

newsletter, and Harvard health. The website was made in dedication of

Morgan Leslie Segal who died of suicide. Their research focuses on helping

people with depression and who suffer from low self-esteem to have a better

understanding of this topic. The article is useful to my research topic, as for

it talks about my main 3 topics I will write about. For instance it talks about

the positive and negative impacts of social media on the mental health. The

main limitation of the article is it has a small amount of information given.

Thus the authors indicate that we should keep children away from social

media for it brings bad to them. This article will form the basis of my

research topic and is where most of my information will be retrieved from.

Alverdiahealth. (2023, April 27). The positive impact of social media on our mental health.

Alverdia Health.

In this article, Alverdiahealth, states various factors on what the positive things

social media can bring to a person. The authors use data gained through “AS IS” bases

and without any warrants (either express or implied). Their research focuses on helping

and providing the importance social media can bring to a person’s mental health. The

article will be a bit useful in some way for it helps express the usage of social media and

that not only is their negative to it but there is positive use to it. The limitations of this

article is that information given was short and did not give much examples. The author

says that many teenagers have developed a habit on social media which lead to

depression and anxiety may want to seek professional help. This article will form the

basis of my research topic and would fit perfectly at my last body paragraph.
