Review On the Impact of social media

Abstract

Social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok have become indispensable components of everyday life, significantly changing how people engage, communicate, and obtain information. Although these platforms give users unmatched access to a wide range of viewpoints and experiences, they also present serious psychological difficulties. Positive and negative aspects of social media's impact on mental health have been discussed extensively. Social media can encourage self-expression, creativity, and the development of communities, but it can also exacerbate problems like addiction, anxiety, and social comparison. Constantly being exposed to idealised lives and photos on social media can worsen feelings of inadequacy and have detrimental emotional effects. Gaining a better knowledge of how social media use affects mental health is essential to maximising social media's benefits and reducing its negative impacts. This essay makes the case for a fair strategy that takes into account both the possible advantages and psychological hazards of social media use.
