Product professionals face unique mental health challenges that can lead to burnout, but not all anxiety is detrimental. Insights from Dr. Wendy Suzuki's book "Good Anxiety" suggest that while bad anxiety can disrupt productivity, good anxiety can enhance focus and decision-making. Strategies such as recognizing and channeling anxiety into productive actions can help manage stress in high-pressure roles.

A study from the University of Cambridge reveals that adolescents with mental health conditions, particularly those with anxiety and depression, use social media differently than their peers, reporting more dissatisfaction with online friend counts and spending about 50 minutes more on these platforms daily. They are also more prone to social comparisons and mood changes based on social media interactions, highlighting the complex relationship between social media use and mental health among young people.
