    9 Mental Health Accounts On Instagram That'll Make 2022 So Much Better For You

    Sometimes, one needs a little more than just cat memes.

    I began 2021 with a mission: Curating my social media feeds to make them less unhealthy, and more informative, wholesome, and educational. Like many other people, I am prone to doomscrolling, hate-stalking, comparing myself to influencers, and plenty of other unhealthy online behaviours — so I started consciously monitoring and controlling my social media usage.

    One of the many choices I made was to start following more mental health awareness and general wellbeing-based accounts on Instagram. Now, every time I open the app (which is many times, because Instagram is ADDICTIVE), much of the content I see is educational, positive, helpful, and even conducive for my self-growth.

    Here are 9 accounts that made my feed better in 2021, and could (hopefully) make your feed much better in 2022:

    1. @nedratawwab | Nedra Glover Tawwab, Therapist

    2. @gottmaninstitute | The Gottman Institute

    3. @psych_today | Psychology Today

    4. @thesecurerelationship | The Secure Relationship

    5. @brenebrown | Brené Brown

    6. @the.holistic.psychologist | Dr. Nicole LePera

    7. @yourdiagnonsense | Todd Baratz, LMHC

    8. @sitwithsharon | Sharon Peykar, LCSW

    9. @thebraincoach | Nawal | M.A. Neuropsychology
