Mental Health on the Internet

The internet has become our go-to for all kinds of information, and that shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone, considering it’s made all our lives easier. In fact, had it not been for the internet, staying sane throughout the pandemic wouldn’t have been an option for most of us.
