Does social media make you happy or sad? How you feel on social media depends in part on what you do with it.

While social media is everywhere, which social media you use (and why) can impact on your mood positively or negatively.

Facebook can appear to be a land of "I'm better than you." But you can also use it to build supportive friendships and build community among people with the same interests.

Put the phone down and enjoy life in three dimensions. Make your children do the same.

Social media does provide good data to researchers trying to predict when people are happiest (not the morning) and even when illness spreads.

Still not convinced? Maybe a cat or dog video will change your mind.
