Abstract

This study examines the impact of social media on mental health across age groups, highlighting both positive and negative effects. While social media supports connections and offers educational resources, excessive use can cause issues like depression, anxiety, and sleep problems, especially in adolescents and young adults who are highly engaged. Older adults may face loneliness and misinformation. This research highlights the psychological effects of digital interactions, stressing the importance of educational programs, parental guidance, and further research to mitigate social media's negative impacts. It stresses the need for balanced usage and public awareness to promote mental well-being in all age groups.
