Social media detox plus exercise may ease anxiety and depression in college students

This study looks at whether reducing social media use and replacing it with exercise, or practicing mindfulness, can help college students feel less anxious and depressed. About 300 students who use social media heavily will be split into three groups: one that does nothing different, one that practices mindfulness meditation, and one that cuts social media and adds exercise. The study lasts two weeks and checks mood, well-being, and phone use before, right after, and one week later.
