  1. IMPACT OF SOCIAL MEDIA ON MENTAL HEALTH

  2. A study on social media use found the influence of social networks can have dire effects on the psychological wellbeing of users. The research looked at the mental health effects of social media in 467 high school students. The study found teenagers have a strong sense of social pressure to be always available online.

  3. Depression is a state of low mood and aversion to activity.It can affect a person's thoughts, behavior, motivation, feelings and sense of well being. Depression Symptoms ● Feelings of sadness, tearfulness, emptiness or hopelessness ● Angry outbursts, irritability or frustration, even over small matters ● Loss of interest or pleasure in most or all normal activities, such as sex, hobbies or sports ● Sleep disturbances, including insomnia or sleeping too much ● Tiredness and lack of energy, so even small tasks take extra effort

  4. Teens typically feel emotionally invested in their social media accounts. Not solely do they feel pressure to reply quickly on-line, however, they conjointly feel pressure to have ideal photos and well-written posts, all of which might cause an excellent deal of tension. Some of the studies have found that the larger a teen's social circle on-line a lot of anxiety they feel regarding keeping up with everything on-line. Anxiety

  5. Sleep deprivation, also known as sleep insufficiency or sleeplessness, is the condition of not having adequate duration and/or quality of sleep to support decent alertness, performance, and health. Sleep deprivation Sometimes teens pay so many hours on social media that they start to lose valuable sleep. Consequently, this sleep loss will cause moodiness, a drop in grades, and overeating, in addition, as exacerbate existing issues like depression, anxiety, and ADD.

  6. Envy Jealousy and envy—while normal emotions—can play havoc on teenage brains if they dwell on what someone else has possessed or has experienced, that they themselves haven't. And since individuals tend to post solely the positive things that they experience, or create the light of the unhealthy with funny little anecdotes, it will seem to the reader that people lead more exciting lives than they are doing.

  7. Communication issues Many teens spend so much time on-line checking statuses and like that they forget to move with the individuals right in front of them. For this reason, friendships and dating relationships will suffer when social media takes center stage during a person's life. As a result, teenagers risk having relationships that aren't deep or authentic.

  8. Addiction social media use is in general, the number of those who have social media addiction may be higher. Not everyone who uses social media will develop an addiction. Since this activity is becoming more accessible to more people, though, more people may develop an addiction to social media at some point in their lives.
