| Abstract: | Social media has become an indispensable part of modern life, shaping communication, self-expression, and social interactions across age groups. Its influence on mental health is multifaceted, with evidence showing both beneficial and detrimental outcomes depending on age, patterns of use, and individual vulnerability. Adolescents and young adults are particularly susceptible to negative outcomes such as anxiety, depression, and body dissatisfaction, largely due to social comparison, cyberbullying, and fear of missing out (FoMO). Conversely, older adults may experience improved social connectivity, emotional support, and reduced loneliness through digital engagement. This paper synthesizes findings from recent studies to explore these age-specific effects, emphasizing the importance of mindful and balanced use. The review also identifies research gaps, particularly regarding pre-teens, middle-aged adults, and platforms like WhatsApp, YouTube, and Snapchat, suggesting directions for future studies to optimize social media’s impact on mental health. |
