Social media and mental health
Let us first see some study or research results ⤵

72 out of 100 people in the US use social media [According to Pew Research]
Teenagers may spend considerably more time online which includes browsing various social media. According to a 2015 common sense survey, teenagers are found to spend around 9 hours online per day.
Those students who spend more than two hours per day on social media have poor mental health than the occasional users [According to a 2017 Canadian study]
Disrupted and delayed sleep among the adolescents was linked to social media use [According to a 2019study]
About 50% of 6000 participants of a study where the participants age was 10-18 years experienced cyberbullying [According to a 2020 survey]
Although no direct effect, but a 10-year use of screens (including using social media and playing video games) has been linked to increased suicide risk among adolescents and emerging adults [According to a 2021 study]
Teenagers who use social media for 3 hours or more daily are more likely to suffer from various mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety, antisocial behaviour and aggression [According to a 2019 study]
Despite being connected to online friends, social media increase the feeling of loneliness [According to a 2018 study]
Do you know that there is FOMO in social media also? A continuous fear of missing out such as a sense that others are having more fun while I am not, leads to poor self-esteem and other mental illness. The uncontrolled urge of checking notifications often hampers sleep or other offline activities
Social media has brought some extraordinary changes in our life that were unimaginable a few decades ago. However, at the same time, it has some negative impact on us. We need to balance them in our life.

The way social media has negative effect on people also it has positive effect but I won't say spending over 2 hours daily can cause poor mental health. If I may say.
What can we say? The study showed us that. The study may have some limitations as well.
Or, maybe, there are some elements of truth 🙂

This is a really great post. We have come to the world of technology and we are forgetting a lot of things. Day by day we have to fix their mindset. Not desirable for
But social media is a good thing for everyone, but there are many people who have benefited from social media, and I think most people will have a lot of problems in the future as they use their social media to change their own physical mentality.
The studies I mentioned in my post, tell us that. We should be careful about using social media. We should make a balance.
Thanks for stopping by.
