An essential emphasis is placed on the constantly changing digital world that adolescent brains are adopting so well. There are undeniably positive outcomes to this new age technology but there are also many negative, detrimental impacts that stem from the overuse of social media. Low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, cyberbullying, body image expectations and suicidal ideation are a handful of the mental health risks fostered by social media. But what about the physical impact as well? Adolescents overuse of social media may result in less exercise, increased headaches, effects on eyesight, decreased sleep, and lack of routine. With a more integrative approach to the mental health and well-being of our youth, we can reduce the negative consequences of social media and help individuals find their actual self rather than their idealized self.
