Social media addiction is an uncontrollable urge to use social media, even as it leads to negative consequences in your life. It can affect your mental health, relationships, work performance and beyond.📱🤳

It’s a type of behavioral addiction — an activity that stimulates your brain’s reward system. That compels you to keep taking a certain action (in this case, using social media apps) even though it’s causing problems in your life.
