Kenny Egan warns of the dangers of social media on mental health

Mental health and suicide awareness advocates have warned social media is ruining our relationships and destroying the quality of human interaction.

Speaking at a mental health conference, Olympian Kenneth Egan said people have never felt more alone, despite living in a world where we are more connected than ever before.

The former boxer opened up about his alcohol addiction and said he has learned the opposite of addiction is not sobriety but connectivity, but warned that that sense of connectivity has been lost by many people.
