TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Social media, self-harm and suicide JO - BJPsych bulletin A1 - House, Allan SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - Use of social media by people with mental health problems, and especially those who are prone to self-harm, has potential advantages and disadvantages. This poses a dilemma about how and by how much the form and content of social media sites should be regulated. Unfortunately, participation in the public debate about this dilemma has been restricted and high-profile discussion of necessary action has been focused almost entirely on how much suppression of content is justified. Professional bodies, including the Royal College of Psychiatrists, should be doing much more than they are to shape how the debate is conducted.
