Impact of Social Media on Mental Health
Journal Title: Innovative Research in Applied, Biological, and Chemical Sciences (IRABCS) - Year 2023, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
In the contemporary era dominated by technology, social media platforms have gained unprecedented prominence, fostering both interconnectedness and communities. Their impact on mental health is a complex interplay of benefits and drawbacks. While providing a lifeline for those facing isolation or marginalized identities, social media also poses challenges such as the "comparison trap" and addictive behavior, negatively affecting self-esteem and inducing anxiety. Cyberbullying and the anonymous nature of online interactions contribute to severe psychological consequences. Despite these challenges, there is hope for a positive impact through education, research, and responsible platform practices, aiming to create a future where technology enhances rather than diminishes the human experience.
