Which statement best describes how technology can impact mental wellbeing?

• A. It can connect people to support networks and resources
• B. It always harms mental health
• C. It has no effect
• D. It guarantees happiness

Answer: (A)

Technology mainly helps mental wellbeing by expanding access to support networks and resources. Online platforms connect people with friends, family, peer groups, and professionals, so you can get emotional support, practical advice, and timely help even when travel or face-to-face options aren’t easy. Telehealth makes professional care more accessible, and mental health apps or websites provide coping strategies, information, and direct links to hotlines or local services. Because of this, technology can play a positive role by widening the ways people can reach help and stay connected.

It’s not accurate to say it always harms mental health, has no effect, or guarantees happiness. The impact depends on how it’s used, the quality of the information or connections, and individual circumstances.
