There's a new book going around that supposedly draws links between social media and a variety of issues with mental health. Apparently, it's #1 on Amazon right now.

So, it's probably worth knowing it is nonsense, as the author cherry picks data and disregards points that would run contrary to the narrative, even when those points are made by people who wrote papers cited in the book.
