Social media has become a go to for medical advice. One of the biggest concerns is that social media does not distinguish between expert advice and personal opinion. An experienced physician, a scientist, a patient sharing their story and an influencer with no medical training peddling their own “treatments” may all appear side by side in someone’s feed, with no way to tell which is the most reliable source of information.

Social media can be a helpful source of health advice — but it can also spread misinformation. CNN’s Dr. Leana Wen helps you figure out the difference.
