👉 The research problem centers on understanding the multifaceted impact of social media on adolescent mental health, particularly focusing on how excessive use correlates with increased symptoms of anxiety and depression. Despite growing evidence linking social media to negative psychological outcomes, there remains a need for a comprehensive study that explores the mechanisms behind these effects, including factors like cyberbullying, comparison culture, and sleep disruption. This research aims to identify specific thresholds of usage that trigger adverse mental health outcomes and to develop evidence-based interventions to mitigate these risks, ultimately informing policymakers and educators on how to protect young users in the digital age.
