Besides depression, what other mental problems social networking causes

Not only depression but also other symptoms of poor mental health, from anxiety to insomnia, to chronic stress and lack of self - confidence, as well as a few sports, these are some of the negative effects that are caused above all on teenage girls from the continued use of social media, according to a study published in the “The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health<11> and carried out by “U n CL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health” in London.

According to a study conducted among direct interviews with about 10,000 teenagers aged 13-16, it shows that constantly connecting to social networks, “Facebook”, “Instagram”, “Whapp”, “Titter” and “Snapchat”, or at least three times a day and more, is linked to a deterioration of mental and physical health.

Apparently more women suffer. Nearly 60% of the psychological impact caused by news from social networks comes from their high exposure to cyber bulimism and a lack of healthy activities. These teenagers sleep less, sleep badly, and do little exercise and open - air life.

These negative psychological factors resulting from the use of social networks, in turn, affect only 12% in men.
