Can your phone make your heart race — or calm it down? In this episode, we hear from a young adult who’s experienced anxiety and panic attacks while navigating the world of social media. Together, we explore how scrolling can both soothe and spark anxiety, and whether research that shows no clear link between social media and mental health matches real experience. It's not always about how long we’re online — but why we’re online and how it makes us feel.
