Abstract: The widespread availability of social media has altered the way in which humans converse, learn, and access information in a virtual environment.In this investigation, social media's psychological impact is discussed in Saudi high school students and instructors, with a specific analysis of anxiety, depression, and overall mental well-being.With a mixed-methods study, survey data and interviews are examined to assess social media use behavior and its association with markers of mental wellness.Findings confirm a significant relation between long-term social media use and increased tension, with symptoms including sleep loss, exhaustion, and lowered concentration.As social media opens avenues for communication and information distribution, excessive use is accompanied by cyberbullying behavior, comparing oneself with others, and increased anxiety and depression in students.The study extends present investigations through consideration of Saudi Arabia's educational and cultural environment, in which technology use is becoming increasingly widespread.
