Topic: The Impact of Social Media on Mental Health

ROSHNI KATHURIA - 9426624396 3


"The article highlights the significant influence of social media on mental
health, particularly among adolescents. The author provides substantial
evidence, citing statistics that indicate a 30% rise in anxiety levels among
frequent users. This suggests that prolonged exposure to social media platforms
contributes to emotional distress. Moreover, the phrase ‘constant comparison
culture’ reinforces the idea that users often feel pressured to meet unrealistic
standards. In contrast to previous studies that focus solely on addiction, this
analysis broadens the discussion to include self-esteem issues. Ultimately, the
text emphasizes the need for a balanced approach to social media consumption,
urging users to be mindful of their screen time."
