15 Instagram Accounts to Inspire a Healthy Mind

We spend a lot of time on social media as a collective, an average of two hours and 27 minutes a day. With this amount of exposure to platforms like Instagram and TikTok, we have the opportunity to surround ourselves with excellent sources of information and inspiration. If you’re on a journey to be your best, social media can be a great place to source resources or motivation.

At Wondermed, we empower our patients to assemble their own healing community around them. This includes any therapist, allies, as well as social media content creators, and inspirational resources.

We’ve curated a few Instagram accounts to keep your feed full of healthy mental health conversations.
