19 Mental Health Instagram Accounts to Make Your Feed a More Positive Place

If you've checked the stats on your phone which share how much time you spend on social media, you may, like many of us, be quite shocked. There's no denying that we love to log onto the app and scroll through the posts shared by our friends, by the publications and brands we love, and to get inspiration from accounts all over the world.

Instagram does have a reputation for being all gloss and no substance. The platform is known for its glamorous filters and #instaworthy pictures, which showcase only the best parts of people’s lives.

And given how much time we are spending on our feeds, it's worth making them a happy and beneficial place to spend time.

We've rounded up a selection of 19 Instagram accounts that offer tips and tricks for aiding you in your mental health journey.
