Many studies have discovered a direct correlation between excessive social media use and a higher risk of suicide ideation, self-harm, loneliness, sadness, and anxiety. The lack of in-person interactions found in social media has also been connected to social anxiety disorder.

Are there other detrimental impacts of social media on mental health that you are aware of?
