Many people believe they need Facebook. And they believe they need the social media app to stay connected with friends and family.

But the opposite is actually true.

More than any social network, Facebook isolates us from the world and the people we care about most.

It’s also a huge time-sink, and it’s dangerous for our mental health.

Studies have shown, time and time again, that Facebook is harmful to our well-being, and it can lead to envy and depression.

Facebook is especially harmful to adolescents and young millennials.

Regardless of age, everyone feels the harmful effects of Facebook, whether they realize it.

But we keep going back.

Why? Because we’re addicted to Facebook. Whether we want to admit it.

So, what can we do about it?

The solution is actually simple:

Quit Facebook.
