How much time did you spend on social media today? How much of that time actually made you feel good? Clinical psychologist Dr. Ali Mattu is sharing his thoughts on the mental health discussion, social media, and anxiety – as licensed professional and YouTuber himself! → Show notes & quotes at lavendaire.com/lifestyle-140 Mental health can be a sensitive topic, so Ali shares how he takes a careful approach to mental health education on his YouTube channel, The Psych Show. A related topic we're all familiar with at Lavendaire is self care, and we explored the pros and cons of the self care 'trend': how it benefits the mental health discussion and how it's been commercialized for profit. And of course, we couldn't avoid the topic of social media, especially since we're both YouTubers. We talked about how your favorite apps are designed to trap you in an endless scroll and how we can all afford to be more mindful online.
