THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL MEDIA ON MENTAL HEALTH

Introduction
Social media use has a significant impact on mental health. It can improve bonding, increase self-esteem
and increase a sense of belonging. But it can also cause tremendous stress, pressure to compare yourself to
others, and increased sadness and isolation. Conscious use is essential to social media consumption. Social
media has become an integral part of our daily routines: we communicate with family and friends, accept
invitations to public events and join online communities to meet like-minded people using these platforms.
Since the beginning of the 21st century, social media has opened a new way for social experiences and
broadened the possibilities of communication. According to a recent study, people spend 2.3 hours a day on
social networks. YouTube, Tiktok, Instagram and Snapchat have become increasingly popular among young
people in 2022, and a third think they spend too much time on these platforms. The significant amount of
time that people around the world spend on social networks has drawn the attention of researchers to the
potential benefits and risks. Studies show that excessive use is primarily associated with lower psychological
well-being. However, findings also suggest that the quality, not the quantity, of social media use may
determine whether the experience improves or worsens the user's mental health. In this compilation, we
explore the impact of social media on mental health, providing in-depth research perspectives on positive
and negative effects.

The Purpose of the Project

In today's world, many of us rely on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, YouTube
and Instagram to find and connect with each other. While each has its benefits, the purpose of this study is
important to remember that social media can never replace real human connection. It takes personal contact
with others to trigger hormones that relieve stress and make you happier, healthier and more positive.
Ironically, for a technology designed to bring people together, spending too much time on social media can
make you feel lonelier and isolated and worsen mental health issues like anxiety and depression. If you
spend too much time on social media and your life is affected by sadness, dissatisfaction, frustration or
loneliness, it may be time to reevaluate your online habits and find a healthier balance.

Intervention planning
social media platforms can be used as part of mental health care, providing more education and awareness
about mental health.13 Online interventions for young people have been shown to be interesting and very
useful. Social media is unique because it provides an opportunity to easily reach many people. With digital
mental health, there is a greater ability to provide care because you don't face the so-called geographical
barriers that face-to-face treatment does. In addition, being online allows people to remain anonymous and
privacy is an important factor for young people discussing health online. Thus, young people can talk about
their mental health online without fear of being judged, which helps overcome stigma. mental health, which
is a major barrier to seeking help. They can also connect with people with similar illnesses and develop
support networks, which can help reduce feelings of loneliness. Therefore, social media can be useful in
targeting people who do not normally seek help. The review found that the use of social media in mental
health was associated with high engagement rates and low attrition rates, with the highest value social media
interventions involving. moderator in a group. In social media mental health interventions, the ever-
increasing use of social media can thus be successfully used positively for youth mental health. This
improves access to interventions, allows anonymity and creates a stronger sense of community for
discussing mental health.
