In the cartoon, I depict a large scale balance, with one side labeled "Social Media" and the other side labeled "Mental Health". On the "Social Media" side, there are icons of popular platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter weighing it down heavily. On the other side, there is a single figure struggling to stay balanced, representing a person's mental health.
The figure on the "Mental Health" side is depicted with a worried expression, holding their head in their hands. They are surrounded by looming shadows and dark clouds, symbolizing the negative impact that excessive use of social media can have on mental well-being.
This cartoon aims to highlight the detrimental effects of spending too much time on social media, such as increased anxiety, loneliness, and feelings of inadequacy. It serves as a reminder to prioritize self-care and disconnect from the digital world in order to maintain a healthy mental state.
