Abstract

Social media now plays a central role in the daily lives of young people, deeply affecting their psychological health. This review examines both the advantageous and detrimental effects of social media, highlighting both its benefits and challenges.

However, it also presents difficulties such as stress, mood disorders, concerns over appearance, and online harassment, often amplified by excessive use and social comparison.
