Mental Health Crisis Due To Smartphone and Social Media Addiction
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Social media and smartphones have permeated every aspect of our lives, enabling us to communicate, connect, and stay informed. But being connected all the time is beginning to have a negative impact on a lot of teenagers and young people. The effects of excessive screen time on issues including anxiety, sadness, difficulty sleeping, and feelings of inadequacy or loneliness are examined in greater detail in this research. It also explores the effects of cyberbullying, the emotional toll of endless scrolling, and the pressure to always look flawless online. While these platforms can foster creativity and connection, they can also exhaust us and make us feel disengaged. We need to establish a better balance to safeguard our mental wellness. This entails having open discussions, getting help from families and schools, and tech businesses taking the initiative to design gently. Although it's difficult, striking that balance is important.
