The relationship between social media and mental health is definitely prevalent in society today. There are many positive and negative effects of social media on mental health. The key takeaway is to have balance when using social media. The overall trends show similar spikes and dips in the search volume of both topics. Looking at the map of the United States, it is seen that mental health dominates the search queries, but it is pretty evenly split in most states.

Trends shows that social media is searched more in the South Bay, while mental health is searched more in the East Bay. All in all, there is a definite correlation between social media and mental health that can be further explored with more research.
