Mental health information is increasingly accessible through social media, including content about depression, anxiety, ADHD, and burnout. However, this ease of access also carries the risk of misunderstandings, as many individuals attempt self-diagnosis without proper psychological assessment, labeling themselves without fully understanding the context or limitations of the information they receive.
On Wednesday (12/7), the Center for Public Mental Health (CPMH) Faculty of Psychology UGM held an Online Summer Lecture Series (OSLS) 2023 themed Mental Health in the Digital World.
