Thus,being socially connected with other people can relievestress, anxiety, and sadness, but lack of social connectioncan pose serious risks to mental health.1 Social mediahas recently become part of people’s daily activities;many of them spend hours each day on Messenger,Instagram, Facebook, and other popular social media andmany scholars studied the impact of social media andapplications on various aspects of people’s lives.\u0000\u0000The advent of the digital age has led to changes in themanner and nature of information generation, circulation,and reception. For example, social media connects peoplethrough text, pictures, and videos to build a vast socialnetwork and significantly influence people’s mindset andbehaviors.3 Social media has a reinforcing nature. Using itactivates the brain’s reward center by releasing dopaminelinked to pleasurable activities such as sex, food, andsocial interaction. The platforms are designed to beaddictive and are associated with anxiety, depression andeven physical ailments. FOMO—fear of missing out—also plays a role. If everyone else is using social mediasites, and if someone doesn’t join in, there’s concern thatthey’ll miss jokes, connections, or invitations. Missingexperiences can create anxiety and depression.

Materials and Methods: This study was conducted among a total of 155 subjectscomprising pre-eclampsia (n=44), eclampsia (n=47), normotensive pregnant (n=35), and normotensive non-pregnant(n=29) women. Plasma immunoglobulin content was determined by indirect Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay(ELISA). Significant differences in immunoglobulin contents across the groups were assessed by one-way analysisof variance (ANOVA) and between two groups by pair-sample t-tests. Results: Results showed significant (p<0.05)differences in IgG and IgM levels, while no significant changes were observed in the IgA level across groups. The IgGlevel was found to be increasing from non-pregnant (6.86±0.6 g/L) to the eclampsia (7.42±0.9 g/L) to pre-eclampsia(7.53±0.7 g/L); there had also significant (p<0.05) changes among eclampsia (7.42±0.9 g/L), normotensive pregnant(6.96±0.5 g/L), and non-pregnant (6.86±0.6 g/L). Furthermore, immunoglobulin M (IgM) had significant (p<0.05)variations among the complicated pregnancies (pre-eclampsia and eclampsia), normotensive pregnant (2.09±0.4), andnon-pregnant (2.64±0.2) women. At the same time, the highest amount of IgM was found in eclampsia (2.74±0.3 g/L)and the lowest in pre-eclamptic subjects (1.92±0.1 g/L).
