According to new MIT researchers, if users surf negative content online, it disrupts their mental health. Continuous exposure to negative browsing patterns leads to mental health disorders like depression, stress, and anxiety.
The researchers argue that digital spaces actively shape psychological well-being. This report showcases evidence of the link between online behaviour and mental health. Social media and depression are correlated, and the type of content consumed is a major factor that creates disturbed minds in individuals. Digital spaces play a major role in everyone's routine, and companies should ensure that they support the mental well-being of individuals.
