Welcome back to the Julius Profiles Podcast, everybody! Today we are talking influencers, social media, and mental health and to help us in this pursuit we are joined by Lina Renzina of Ad Council and Ayelet Boussi from Cognitive Therapy for Women. The discussion covers the basics of the relationship between mental health and our current internet usage and the way we relate to the content on social platforms. We also look at mental wellbeing from the influencer’s perspective, considering the effect that this sort of career can have on a person’s mental state. We discuss the great impact that prominent figures can have in removing the stigma and creating relatable stories for their audience.
