Raise your hand if you search the internet to (self) diagnose an ailment; you may have the Idiot Syndrome

The rise of "Idiot Syndrome" underscores the influence of social media on perceptions of intelligence and self-worth. Experts including Neha Cadabam, highlight how the surge of health influencers, while well-meaning, often leads to misinformation, fueling anxiety and unrealistic comparisons. Managing screen time and engaging in offline activities can help mitigate these effects. Practicing mindfulness and focusing on personal growth over external validation empowers individuals to navigate the digital world with confidence and clarity.
