Social media is a huge part of daily life for the average household. From adolescence through adulthood, most of the population utilizes one platform or another.

Through complex social interactions, disorders like anxiety, depression, and many others can be negatively influenced. Because of this connection, social media can be a negative factor perpetuating mental health disorders as well as worsening existing ones.
