If you take remarks on social media seriously, you will suffer depression, claims McBrown

Famous Ghanaian actress and media personality Nana Ama McBrown claims that in order to prevent herself from sinking into a depressive state, she doesn't give any weight to criticism she receives on social media.

If you take remarks on social media seriously, you will suffer depression, claims McBrown

The Onua Showtime anchor revealed in a recent live stream that she chose the tactic to protect her mental health.

"You'll constantly be depressed if you can't read and opt to swallow anything that people write, regardless of whether it's garbage or something sensible. See the difference, please.

According to McBrown, "everyone speaks their mind and sees their opinion as facts on social media," illuminating the difficult terrain of the platform where viewpoints frequently conflate constructive criticism with well-meaning remarks.

She emphasized how tough it might be to handle critics who don't take celebrities' emotional states into account.Sometimes you can't explain to everyone why you're not feeling well.

It's not always possible to respond to someone who has offended you. Know yourself, then. Ignore the person if they aren't adding value to your life, advised McBrown.

McBrown's remarks are in line with celebrities' increasing awareness of the mental health issues they encounter in the age of social media.

In the past, celebrities like Kuami Eugene and Funny Face have openly denounced the cyberbullying of other celebrities and challenged trolls to acknowledge the emotional hardships of famous people.
