It examines how excessive use of social media can lead to issues such as social comparison, cyberbullying, and online harassment, which can contribute to anxiety, depression, and feelings of loneliness.Moreover, the addictive nature of social media and its capacity to disrupt sleep patterns are associated with poor mental health outcomes.
