Abstract
Abstract: This study aims to compare the quality of life and past suicide attempts of bipolar disorder (BD) patients with social media (SM) use. The study included 100 BD patients. All participants underwent assessments using the Functional Assessment Short Test (FAST), Social Media Use Disorder Scale (SMDS), and 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36). Past suicidal behaviors were also noted. FAST scores in the SM group were significantly ( p <0.05) lower than those not using SM. The SF-36 scores in the group using SM were significantly higher ( p <0.05) than those not using SM. Previous suicide attempts did not affect SM usage. When considering the more frequent utilization of SM among patients with a history of suicide attempts, encouraging these patients to follow productive content in SM could be a way to reintegrate them into life.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease publishes peer-reviewed articles containing new data or ways of reorganizing established knowledge relevant to understanding and modifying human behavior, especially that defined as impaired or diseased, and the context, applications and effects of that knowledge. Our policy is summarized by the slogan, "Behavioral science for clinical practice." We consider articles that include at least one behavioral variable, clear definition of study populations, and replicable research designs. Authors should use the active voice and first person whenever possible.
