On behalf of LifeStance Health, we conducted an online survey of 1,110 U.S. adults aged 18 and older. The survey was fielded from Jan. 30 to Feb. 9, 2025 and aimed to get a better understanding of US consumer’s relationship with social media in regards to their mental wellbeing. A majority (81%) of respondents do not believe mental health content on social media is an adequate replacement for evidence-based mental health care. However, over one-quarter (26%) of respondents check social media within five minutes of waking up, and the same portion (26%) spend four hours or more daily on social media.
