However, excessive social media use can negatively impact mental health and lead to issues like depression, anxiety, cyberbullying, unrealistic expectations, and negative body image. Over-reliance on social media for more than 15 hours per week can signify social media anxiety disorder, characterized by inability to disconnect from accounts and prioritizing social media over relationships and responsibilities. Both physical and mental health risks increase with social media addiction, including eye strain, obesity, and depression. People should recognize that only positive moments are often shared online and not compare their real lives to perceived

    Besides, their ability to concentrate on their task at hand gets significantly reduced due to the
    distraction that is brought by all these social media sites. The other negative effect on
    students is that they are spending too much time on social sites, and much lesser time on
    socializing in person

    How Social Media Is Bad for You


    Depression and Anxiety. ...
    Cyberbullying. ...
    FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) ...
    Unrealistic Expectations. ...
    Negative Body Image.

    In fact, anxiety disorders are the most common mental health disorders in the United States. It
    seems that the more technology we acquire, the more stressed out we become. According to
    the experts, almost 20% of people with social media accounts cannot go more than three hours
    without checking them. So, what is social media anxiety disorder?

    Most people who have social media accounts do not get nervous or stressed out when they are
    not able to check their notifications every five minutes. However, for those who have social
    media anxiety disorder, just being away from their Facebook or Twitter account for a few
    minutes can cause severe anxiety. Here are some of the most common symptoms of social
    media anxiety disorder:

    Interrupting conversations to check your social media accounts


    Lying to others about how much time you spend on social media
    Withdrawal from friends and family
    Trying to stop or reduce your use of social media more than once before without being
    successful
    Loss of interest in other activities
    Neglecting work or school to comment on Facebook or Twitter account
    Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when you are not able to access social media
    Spending over six hours per day on social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram
    Overwhelming need to share things with others on social media sites
    Having your phone with you 24 hours a day to check your social media sites
    Using social media more often than you planned
    Severe nervousness or anxiety when you are not able to check your notifications
    Negative impacts in your personal or professional life due to social media usage
    Overall, about 30% of those who use social media spend more than 15 hours per week online.
    This can greatly reduce your ability to enjoy real life. It can also cost you relationships, jobs, and
    an education if you spend too much time online. If you are spending several hours a day on
    Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, you are not going to have enough time to work, study, or
    spend time with loved ones. You may have social media anxiety disorder and it can also affect
    your health, both physically and mentally.

    Physical Risks of Social Media Addiction

    Spending too much time online has been proven to cause illnesses such as eye strain, neck
    pain, and lower back problems. In addition, the sedentary way we sit around and “talk” to people
    on Facebook can cause physical illnesses such as obesity, heart disease, nutrition problems,
    and a risk of stroke and certain kinds of cancers.

    Mental Health Issues Caused by Social Media Addiction


    Researchers have found that using social media obsessively causes more than just anxiety. In
    fact, testing has found that using too much internet can cause depression, attention deficit
    hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), impulsive disorder, problems with mental functioning, paranoia,
    and loneliness. It is more than just the pressure of sharing things with others, it is also about
    how you may be comparing your life with others you see on Facebook. Many people see that
    someone on Facebook who has a great job, excellent husband, and beautiful home and they
    feel happy for them. But, others can feel jealous, depressed, or may even feel suicidal about
    their own life if it is not as “perfect” as those they see on Facebook.

    What You Can Do

    First of all, just realize that many people who post all that great stuff on Facebook have a normal
    life just like you and me but they only put the good stuff on Facebook. If your life is not as
    awesome as some of the people you see on Facebook, it is not going to get any better by sitting
    there obsessing over it. You have to get out and enjoy your real life, not your social media “life”
    because that is not a real life. If you are having trouble doing this or you just need to talk to
    someone, there are people who can help you with this. You do not have to have an appointment
    or even leave your home to do it. Talk to an online therapist or counselor now and you can feel
    better by tomorrow.
