The worldwide pandemic has forever changed our worldview with one of the bigger shifts being our awareness of the seriousness of mental health issues. While the world is becoming increasingly more accepting of mental health, there is still a lot to learn. Many people find the internet -- including social media, blogs, and podcasts -- an easy place to start, especially during quarantine and shelter in place orders.

Today's discussions centers around the idea that maybe the internet isn't the best place to get such important information. While easily accessible, that doesn't mean it is reliable. Today's guest, Inside Mental Health podcast host Gabe Howard, who also lives with bipolar disorder, answers tough questions like does social media cause more mental health issues than it resolves?

Join us for a lively, honest, and frank discussion about mental health in 2023.

ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY: The Oxford Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. Since 1823, the Union has been promoting debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe.

The Oxford Union is deeply grateful and encouraged by the messages of support in response to our determination to uphold free speech. During our 200 year history, many have tried to shut us down. As the effects of self-imposed censorship on university campuses, social media and the arts show no signs of dissipating, the importance of upholding free speech remains as critical today as it did when we were founded in 1823. Your support is critical in enabling The Oxford Union to continue its mission without interruption and without interference. https://oxford-union.org/supportus
