Abstract
Social media has become a mainstay of popular culture, with a growing number of users. Yet the understanding of how social media can impact on mental health is at an early stage. This article focuses on social media and how the increased opportunity to make social comparison may contribute to mental health difficulties. Relevant theory and clinical examples are discussed. Suggestions are made for nursing practice.
