We’re exhausted: Stress and social media are taking their toll

We’re exhausted: Stress and social media are taking their toll:

Yes, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram can wear you out, says Dr. Patricia Bratt, a therapist and psychoanalyst with offices in Livingston and New York City.

“Social media can run the gamut from being fabulously uplifting to being totally depressing and exhausting,” says Bratt, who is also the director of trauma and resilience studies at the Livingston, N.J.-based Academy of Clinical and Applied Psychoanalysis. “And this applies to all ages.“

Bratt works with young adults who check their social media constantly — at all hours of the day and night — and they all complain about being tired.
