过度使用社交媒体会导致成瘾行为（毒品、烟草、酒精）或心理健康问题吗？

尽管每个设施都有消极和积极的结果。同样，社交媒体现在在人类生活中扮演着非常重要的角色。但另一方面也有许多黑暗的影响。在这项研究中，试图得出社交媒体是如何影响人类生活的，以及人类健康面临的后果。社交媒体成瘾与毒瘾相似。几年前，社交媒体的访问仅限于个人电脑或笔记本电脑。但现在，每个人都通过手机24小时与社交媒体联系。特别是社交媒体的使用成瘾正在影响年轻人的生活方式，当移动设备或他/她的笔记本电脑响起通知铃声时，他们就会开始做出异常行为。甚至他们对做任何户外活动都不感兴趣。如户外游戏、体育活动游戏等。最糟糕的是，年轻人开始在手机上玩ludo、蛇梯或其他体育游戏，只通过社交媒体与朋友联系。因此，为了克服困难，父母应该照顾他们的孩子和孩子。他们应该激励他们做一些其他的活动，而不是整天呆在虚拟世界里。在这项研究中，讨论了这些问题以及社交媒体对青少年的影响，并试图找出如何克服这种成瘾的要点。
