Social media has become an important element in the development process of teenagers, but it also has a significant impact on their mental health. Excessive use of social media can cause a number of negative impacts on teenagers' mental health, such as making them feel less self-confident, increasing the risk of depression and anxiety, and even loneliness. The increasing use of social media among teenagers has sparked concerns about its impact on their mental wellbeing. This study analyzes various previous studies that discuss the relationship between social media use and adolescent mental health.
