While social media has undoubtedly transformed modern life by improving connectivity and providing access to information and endless entertainment, its widespread use has raised concerns—particularly regarding its impact on mental health. Young people, in particular, spend a significant portion of their day on social media, making them especially vulnerable to the psychological consequences of constant social media exposure. Attention is turning toward the potential mental health benefits of reducing social media use. Emerging evidence indicates that efforts to limit screen time can lead to meaningful improvements in emotional well-being. As the mental health challenges facing youth continue to rise, understanding how reduced social media engagement can support psychological resilience has become increasingly important.
