👉 The research focuses on the impact of social media on adolescent mental health, specifically examining how frequent use of platforms like Instagram and Snapchat correlates with increased symptoms of anxiety and depression among teenagers. Using a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews, the study reveals that while social media can provide social support and a sense of community, excessive use is linked to negative psychological outcomes. The findings highlight the need for balanced social media habits and parental guidance to mitigate potential harms, suggesting that interventions aimed at promoting healthier online behaviors could significantly improve mental well-being in this age group.
