Social Media Is Harmful to Your Brain and Relationships | Psychology Today
“So as social media perceived threats increase, the over-usage of the stress response also increases. It is not a coincidence that obesity, heart disease, and diabetes and cancer is on the rise. All human brains continuously process information from the environment <www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/environment> and initiate the stress response in the face of threat, whether fear (actual danger) or anxiety <www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/anxiety> (perceived danger) causes it. Regardless of your station in life — chronic stress causes allostatic load. Allostatic load is the gateway to distorted perception and disease.”
