Abstract
Social media addiction has become a growing concern in the digital age, as more individuals, especially youth, are spending increasing amounts of time on platforms that promise connection, entertainment, and information. i While social media provides significant benefits in terms of communication and access to information, excessive use has been linked to several mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and loneliness. This paper explores the impact of social media addiction on mental health, the underlying psychological and social mechanisms, and the ways in which social media platforms influence user behavior. It also discusses potential interventions and strategies to mitigate the harmful effects of social media addiction and foster healthier digital engagement
