one in eight children and young people suffer from some sort of mental health condition. Technology has been useful and ubiquitous in society, it helps us with life. There are social media, mobile apps, and online platforms which are accessible for young people to use.

Technology has effected everyone, it has made the world worse. technology can help but it can also be bad for young peoples brains and mental health. Social media has been tested to give mental health deterioration in young people.

This was a good essay/journal. It talks about what I want my essay too be about. The author included interview, involvement, participates, and analysis. These helped keep the information all together and made it sound educational.

Merchant, Raina M., et al. “Evaluating the predictability of medical conditions from social media posts.” PLoS ONE, vol. 14, no. 6, 2019, p. e0215476. Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints, https://link.gale.com/apps/doc/A589464485/OVIC?u=ucinc_main&sid=OVIC&xid=f1e7ba28. Accessed 10 Mar. 2020

over two million people use social media on the regular. social media has been shown to reveal different health signals. A study showed that social media has identified some medical conditions. The results of this study, showed that 21 medical condition categories were predictable from Facebook. Social media has an advantage that is built in the communication channel between doctors and patients.

This journal was okay. it really only talked about how social media is helping with health conditions. The study had some limitations, social media captures emotional patterns, cognitive, behavioral, and environmental markets.

this essay didn’t really go with what I wanted my assignment to be about. I should have picked a different journal that was more about mental health and how it effects people.
