Health Effects of Social Media Addiction

In the globalizing world, as the internet age continues to develop, one of the problems that arise is social media addiction. On social media, there are people who want people to see other people's lives, stick to certain content, and make a lot of efforts to stand out. The person gradually becomes addicted and does not even realize that he is addicted. Social media affects his life day by day and he is not aware of what he is taking from him. Most importantly, social media steals people's time. If we sleep 8 hours a day, twenty-four hours a day, the time spent by social media addicts is almost 10-11 hours a day. This situation detracts from a person's psychology, body and mental health. As they can't find the peace that you started looking for and they get used to the restlessness of addiction, they start messing around with social media, no matter what time of the day, just like their hands are on the phone. As soon as they get bored, social media comes to mind and they get used to clicking from their phones. In human relations, social media addicts get into a very bad situation. In the friend environment, they cannot focus on conversations and conversations, as they pick up the phone, they interrupt their friends' conversations without realizing it, and they spend their time on social media. If this situation goes further, many harms can come to human health.

The harms of social media to human health are as follows:

• They have trouble with reasoning. Their brains work at a low level of logic. As people become weak in these matters, they begin to isolate themselves from the outside world, and this is one of the beginnings of depression.
• It is one of the beginnings of asociality. Asociality can cause a person to experience a mood disorder. The person who starts to feel under stress at any moment starts to stop enjoying life gradually.
• It creates a feeling of inadequacy. In some areas, a person needs to show himself and reflect his impressions on other people in a positive way. This is a big problem for social media addicts. They are excluded from work areas and friends because their social skills are lost and they cannot express themselves. This situation, which has a great impact on their lives, can cause a psychological breakdown for them.
• It prepares the ground for psychological disorders. People who constantly use social media start to build their whole world on social media, as they start to occupy their brains in all areas. This is some of the beginnings of overthinking and bipolar disorder.
• Because their brains are tired all the time, they look sullen and low on energy during the day.

You see the harms of social media addiction that we are talking about. In order to fix this situation, you must admit that you are addicted. 

When a person is honest with himself, he can get out of this situation. A healthy life is necessary for your soul as well as your body.
