Instagram helps you fight against depression
Years ago we were devastated by news about a study that said that Instagram could promote depression and low self-esteem, especially in young people. This is a reality since there are many users who are guided by the retouched images of many influencers and want to become like them, something, as you will understand, impossible.
Apart from this there is also the most negative side of this type of social networks, which we can call Haters. Those people who simply come in to criticize for the sake of criticizing and who do nothing good for people who receive that kind of negative comments.
Well, among these things and many others, Instagram has become serious and has enabled a way to help against depression. We tell you how you can access it.

You simply have to access the application, click on the search option (magnifying glass) that appears in the bottom menu of the screen and search for the following hashtag “depression”, but without an accent.

Tools to fight depression
Now it is your choice to act using any of the tools that Instagram offers us to fight against this silent disease:
- Talk to a friend: Allows you to send or call someone you trust.

- Look for ways to feel better: Instagram suggests ways that have helped other people to fight this disease.
Without further ado and hoping to have helped you, we also wanted to thank Instagram for doing their bit so that people with depression can get out of it.
Greetings.
