60 Days of Disconnect - A Personal Perspective How Social Media Affects Mental Health

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, 16-year-old Keegan Lee reflects on her cathartic decision to delete social media for 60 days and journal the experience through her thoughts, feelings, and emotions. A psychological perspective written by Dr. Bilal Ghandour, follows Keegan's personal journey to explain the causes and deeper meaning behind her behaviors and mental processes. Both authors hope to raise awareness for using social media in a more responsible, healthy way that impacts the world for the greater good. In addition, the authors hope to provide a deeper understanding of the "why" behind universal human behaviors.
