They say comparison is the thief of joy, if that’s the case, Instagram certainly promotes joylessness. Feelings of inadequacy, worthlessness, and failure linked to Instagram are leading to a marked increase in depression and in some cases, suicide. What was once a photo sharing app, is now a breeding ground for self- esteem issues. This episode slips deep into the psychology of Instagram.

Research shows that there is an increase in depression and suicide linked to the feelings of inadequacy brought on by Instagram. Talk producer Jo Lurie, presents the #GramSham podcast series exclusively on Kaya FM. #TheGramSham features some of the celebrities and influencers who participated in the online initiative.
