Tom Holland prioritizes mental health over social media
Tom Holland is doing his best to support his mental health.
The actor has revealed that he is stepping back from social media to pay more attention to his mental health.
The Spiderman: No Way Home star was seemingly absent from digital platforms in recent weeks but made a short comeback just to inform his fans on Sunday to announce that he has deleted his Instagram and Twitter accounts from his devices.
The English actor posted a nearly 3-minute video where he said that social media had become detrimental to his mental health and that he feels bad when he reads things about himself online.
Addressing his followers, he said:
”I have taken a break from social media for my mental health because I find Instagram and Twitter to be overstimulating, to be overwhelming,”
“I get caught up and I spiral when I read things about me online and ultimately it’s very detrimental to my mental state. So, I decided to take a step back and delete the app.”

”There is an awful stigma against mental health and I know that asking for help and seeking help isn’t something we should be ashamed of,”
Towards the end of the video, Holland informed his fans and well-wishers that he was going to disappear from Insta again. He, however, did not forget to thank his fans for all their love and support.
He concluded:
”I love you all and I’ll speak to you soon.”
