Social media builds connections and

strengthens community relationships. During the
COVID-19 lockdown, social media was the medium
to stay connected with family and friends. But,
this medium is slowly becoming a threat to the
mental health of the people. A Statista report
states an average adult spends almost 2 hours
daily on social media platforms. Another report
by The Washington Post says that an American
teenager spends up to 9 hours daily,
showing an increased

addiction.
The Western University researchers investigated
42 related topics researched previously and found
that social media is related to poor mental
health and sleep loss, mainly among young
people. This increased use gives way to anxiety,
stress, bullying, and other social and cognitive
abnormalities.
Effects of Social Media on Mental Health

People nowadays forget that social media cannot
replace real-world social connections. But, with
increased online learning, the technology is
easily accessible to teenagers and young people.
It has made youngsters spend more time on-screen
and also use social media platforms. It results
in isolating people that results in the
development of mental illness in the long run.
People who are excessively using social media
need to visit N eurology Specialists to treat
conditions like stress, depression, anxiety,
etc. Even the top neurologists ask their
patients to limit social media use to secure
their mental health and stay away from the
negative social media experiences.

witnessed by teenagers and youngsters mainly
involve
  • Increased suicidal thoughts

  • The Fear of Missing Out or FOMO triggers anxiety,
    and
  • many people suffer from low self-esteem.
  • Feeling of insecurity among the youngsters
    because of their looks or by watching others way
    of living. It lowers their self-esteem and
    causes mental health issues in many people.
  • Even a few users are seen having withdrawal
    symptoms, nervousness, and ADHD disorders too.
  • The sleep disturbances lead to poor performance
    at
  • school and later at work too.
