Young people who spend more than two hours a day on social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook or Instagram are more likely to suffer from mental health problems, especially anxiety and depression. One of the respondents said that Instagram easily makes girls and women feel as though their bodies are not good enough, so they add filters and edit their images to look perfect.
