who are making multi millions of dollars and living this glamorous lifestyle and they're like, well, but that's, that's not how it's actually happening for me. so they're comparing their lives in reality to their images online. and a lot of times there's, there's a huge discrepancy there that does affect their self esteem. a lot of people are going to use her plastic searches and saying, hey, i want to look more like my filter. and so that is a thing, you know, and people are kind of getting sick of paying for their, their face to in folders and saying, why can't i look more like this? so i think the idea of how someone is supposed to look is sort of changing because everything is seen through a filter and not really seeing through reality. and then we're talking probably talked, we're talking fillers, we're talking the car dashing ends and figures that have, you know, have appear to look perfect in their own ways. you're going, well, wait a minute. that's not really how i look naturally. so you're absolutely affecting people's self esteem and, and causing a lot of people to, to want to make those,

those physical changes. what role does smartphones have in this? would there be a difference if social media was only accessible on a desktop, therefore limited versus always being available in the palm of your hand? well, smartphones are actually real estate. i look at them as real estate because everybody has one and a desktop. you know, you can leave your computer, you can walk away, you don't really walk away from your smartphone. a lot, people don't turn their smartphones off typically. so your smartphone is always with you. and again, it can be used for the positive or the negative, but i don't think we can really discount the power of a smartphone. the power of an app. i mean, i'm developing an app my apps going to be positive, very inspirational for people. but there's a lot of applications out there that really are not positive for people. and i think people have to take responsibility for their own self, their own mens house and, and make better choices. um to, to, you know,

decipher what's going to be good for them. and what is it when it comes to use of their smartphone? you know, in a time when gun manufacturers are being held accountable for crimes committed with their products, do you think it would be good for technology companies or the social media platforms to be held liable for the damage being done by their products? well, i mean, i think it's an interesting question. i mean, i think there can come to time for anything. i definitely think the company is i need to take responsibility for their own morale and, and everything else when it comes to what it is that they're publishing for the general public to realize their influence on people. and it really comes down to whatever their mission and their purposes. unfortunately, there's people in their companies out there that really don't care about anything but what goes in their pocket and in their book. and i think at the end of the day, the view or the audience, the person has to take responsibility for their own wellness and mental health to

make better decisions for themselves regardless. so that could be applied to any area of their life. they could go to a bar and drink alcohol or they could choose not to. uh and again, it all comes down to a personal choice is a discussion about social media and mental health only happening in western developed countries. or are we seeing it in places that are more traditional around the globe? well, obviously i live here in america, so i'm mostly exposed to america. i do work with patients globally, and i can tell you that this is a global issue because smartphones are global. are mostly everybody has a smartphone, but you do see in a lot of other cultures where there is more of a sense of community and where maybe they are organizing differently around circumstances and, and some unfortunate circumstances of the culture that they have

a greater sense of an inner peace in our whole, in this community. and those particular aspects of, of the person or another culture do kind of help the individuals of that culture to become more adaptable to negative circumstances because they're dealing with it from a more positive perspective. so a lot of it has to do with how you think about what's happening around you. so i do, i do kind of feel that when people are more united as a community, that there is a lot of power in that. and, and i mean, real face to face interactions, what you see here a lot, and i hear a lot about this from, you know, especially from my patients is a huge amount of isolation. and the more people are depressed or the more they're anxious through. there is more of a tendency toward isolation and we saw that with the pin demick,

people kind of installation became normalized hurt during the pandemic. so when, when people got out of the pin dynamic, they almost didn't know how to socialize, but western culture just in general we, that we promote independence in the 1st place. whereas a lot of other cultures, they have bit more of a community. they're still that getting together with family or helping each other out and seeing your neighbors and knowing your neighbors and, and maybe they're grouping when it comes to prayer or even religion or spirituality, or helping each other. right? so there is probably a lot more of that that i see in other cultures versus sort of this independent mentality that, that were received more of your, i would say in america, whistle blowers have come out and said tick, tock has specifically said algorithms in western countries all to spread these

dangerous trends like eating type pods. choking challenges boards and screening videos or depression and suicide were in china. the algorithm is set to spread videos on tick tock that are more educational. knowing this is the number one app kids are using all over the world. does this res, concerned it does, because when you, when you're talking about an online application that so many people have access to and that they're being influenced by. and it's literally something that they're watching before they go to bed at night. and when they wake up in the morning at the times with their brain waves are most susceptible and most influenced. it does kind of raise concern if a lot of those messages may be negative and may normalize negatively. so of course, that's going to be your concern. and again, it goes back to people having to wake up and, and take responsibility for themselves. certainly, companies should have

a moral fabric about them and be aware of what it is that they're putting out there to the public. but people have to take a personal responsibility for themselves at the end of the day, a phones or no phones. they have to look deep within themselves and say, how am i feeling, you know, am i happy with where i am? and am i seeing myself from a strength base perspective and if the answer is no, and they feel that apply any platform, maybe affecting them, then they kind of need to detox from it and, and take a better look at themselves and make some changes. shouldn't governments impose limits just like they do with alcohol, or is it too late to try and reverse something which already play such a large role in society? i mean, it's a really good question. i personally hate the idea of the government intervening and freedom and people's rights. but government intervenes all the time. i mean, you can't drive 90 down a 30 mile an hour zone. right. and the government,

you know, they, they are setting certain standards and principles like, hey, you have to pay your taxes on time and you have to do this and that, and you know, in some, in some cases, rules are good and some cases rules do go too far, but when you consider the fact of okay, should government intervene and how much alcohol is served at a bar? people who don't have a drinking problem will say, hey, no, i want to just be able to have as many as i can. and there is a limit, but when you consider that, oh, the alcohol i to goes into a bar and they don't stop and they have a problem. maybe there should be a limit because then they're putting someone else in danger. so i really kind of flip flop both sides and uh, at the end of the day i think people safety is going to be the most important thing and both sides of the spectrum. because when you have someone who has a genuine problem they, they really can't stop their problem. and a lot of times they can't even afford treatment because treatment for them could be, you know, $60000.00 a month plus. so i think that the government may be,

in certain cases, should look at some areas to intervene and not just not because they want to impinge on, you know, people's freedoms. but actually looking at freedom from the opposite side is that how can we keep every but he's safe? so at least i have to ask you, how do you help people disconnect a more from social media? well, for everybody it's a little bit different, but there are some things that are the same, which is that you have to reconnect to yourself and, and build upon some of your coping skills in your core belief systems and really start building that up. but like anything you have to actually reprogram your brain and when you start to get used to be a safe just being alone, you can slowly build confidence by slowly exposing yourself to society, to situations you know, little by little by little. and unfortunately, you know, we have to sometimes step outside of the box of comfort in order to achieve the goals that we want to achieve and take and take some risks. and it's,

it's interesting a lot of people as much as they know that they may need to take risks in certain areas, are afraid of failure and they're afraid of, in some cases, they're also afraid of their own success. but we have to be able to take those rest and take small, but you know, significant steps toward where we want to, where we want to go and realize, hey, you know, it's, it's okay to, to feel a little bit uncomfortable. but as we get used to each situation and as we expose ourselves a little bit more, a little bit more, a little bit more, we realize that it's okay. and most of the time we realize i can do this. thank you so much for joining us. and dr at lisa palmer. yeah. social media, it's not going away any time soon. there aren't problems which have emerged as a result. are just going to have to be dealt with. i'm scared of hughes, and this has been who are 360 view of the news affecting you. thanks for watching. the

take a fresh look around. there's a life kaleidoscopic, isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions. fixtures, design to simplify will confuse who really wants a better wills, and is it just as a chosen for you, fractured images, present it is. but can you see through their illusion going underground can or the question of the nuclear love seeing
