The rapid expansion of social media platforms has significantly transformed communication, information sharing, and social interaction. While these platforms offer numerous benefits, including connectivity and access to information, they have also raised concerns regarding their impact on mental health. This article examines the relationship between social media usage and mental health outcomes, focusing on issues such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and social isolation. Using a mixed-method approach, the study analyzes patterns of social media use and their psychological effects among different demographic groups. The findings reveal both positive and negative impacts, emphasizing the need for balanced usage and digital literacy. The article concludes with recommendations aimed at promoting healthier engagement with social media.
