SCROLLING YOURSELF SICK: SOCIAL MEDIA'S HIDDEN MENTAL HEALTH COSTS

Social media use is linked to anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and even physical symptoms like nausea and headaches.

XX% of U.S. teens use social platforms, often reinforcing feelings of exclusion, insecurity, and FOMO.

Experts warn that early exposure, filtered realities, and constant comparison are distorting how young people see themselves and others.

Self-monitoring and setting time limits can help reduce stress and reclaim mental balance.
