Studies are showing ill effects on mental health from the use of social media, and most writers feel it affecting our health, our writing, even our pocketbooks. But like it or not, it's here to stay. Online life is so pervasive one famous writer recently even lost a contract because of pushing back against abuse. Still, there are things to gain from social media: friendship, support, and promotion. Come find out from writers, an artist, and a psychiatrist what online habits and behaviors tend to cause damage and how we can engage on social media in useful and more healthful ways.
