Abstract
The rise of social media platforms has significantly transformed communication and social interaction, particularly among adolescents and young adults. While these platforms offer unprecedented opportunities for connectivity, self-expression, and community engagement, they also present new challenges to mental health. This study delves into the multifaceted effects of social media on the mental health of adolescents and young adults, highlighting both beneficial and detrimental impacts. It investigates how social media influences mental health through various mechanisms, including social comparison, cyberbullying, and the role of online support communities. By analyzing recent research findings and case studies from 2024, this paper provides a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between social media use and mental health, offering insights and recommendations for promoting healthier social media practices.
