Abstract

Although social media have become a dominant force within today's internet landscape, much is still unknown about its effects on mental health literacy. This article summarizes the results of a survey study investigating social media usage. Social media usage was correlated with participant's views on mental health, social media's role in mental health, and the capability of our current healthcare system to deal with mental health issues and stigma. Through Spearman's rank correlation coefficient analysis of the results, the authors have found a variety of significant relationships indicative of the positive relationship between social media usage and mental health literacy.
